* Fall 2026 Yosemite Safari * (November 16, 2026)

Mon, 16 Nov 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Take a few days to relax following the November elections and before the busy holiday season begins - join the Trails Club for a late fall hiking trip to Yosemite!

We will be staying at the Yosemite Valley Lodge, conveniently located in the heart of the valley. Room options include either one queen, two doubles or a king bed and are currently (as of 8/16) available for the market price of $279 per night, including tax. Bunk rooms with one queen and a bunk are also available, for $366 per night, including tax.

Note that prices may increase closer to the safari date, so register with the Club to join the safari then book your hotel room soon if you plan to attend. The Lodge offers a 7 days prior to arrival cancellation policy.

Breakfast (not included in the room fee) is available at the Base Camp Eatery or the Starbucks Coffee Bar. Rooms include a mini-fridge but not microwaves.

As always, participants are responsible for making their own roommate and travel arrangements. The Amtrak 710 Gold Runner train/bus route can deliver you directly to the Lodge from Martinez. See amtrak.com for details.

Hikes are planned at all levels, centered around the valley floor. Depending on the weather Tuolumne Meadows and Glacier Point may not be accessible during our stay.
