The bus eases out of Yosemite Valley and the air thins like a curtain being pulled back—pine scent sharp, the road rising toward a shoulder of sky. By the time you hit Tioga Road the map of the world changes: granite domes roll into subalpine basins, rivers narrow into glassy lakes, and the wind begins to test your jacket. This adaptive tour is not a rush to the summit; it’s a paced ascent into California’s high country, where the landscape dares you to look up.
