Experience the miracles of nature and man in one fun two day package. See the towering granite cliffs and stalwart pines of Yosemite. Spend time exploring America's tallest waterfall, Yosemite falls. Marvel at the vistas that caused early explorers to call Yosemite the "incomparable valley." After an evening in Fresno, it's a sunrise journey through America's most fertile agricultural region to the windswept central coast. Looming off of the mountain cliffs is your morning destination, Hearst Castle. Experienced State of California employees will lead you through every detail of decadence and luxurious elegance of Randolph William Hearst’s sprawling 'ranch' above the clouds on 'La Cuesta Encantada'.

Day 2: Fresno - Hearst Castle - Bay Area
Visit Hearst Castle in San Simeon, once the home of the media mogul William
Randolph Hearst. The construction of the castle began in 1920 and was not

zoo and celebrated antiques, occupies an area of 137 acres. In 1958,
Hearst's children donated the castle to the state of California, and it
became a public treasure.
