 Notes:

1) Due to the excessive temperatures that can occur during the summer months in Death Valley, and in order not to endanger the health of passengers, this visit cannot always be guaranteed (41 degrees Celsius or more). In that case, the group will visit the ghost town of Calico.

2) If Tioga Pass on the way to Yosemite is closed on the dates of the trip, lodging on this day will be in Bakersfield, instead of Mammoth Lakes.
