We worked with Rob who is one of John's guides for a 2 day guided tour of Yosemite. We had a great time, and really appreciated Rob's deep understanding of the park, and all of the special areas that we wouldn't have found on our own. He was kind, patient, easy going, and very flexible. We had 2 families of 5 including 6 children, and Rob handled us perfectly. He catered to each person and tailored the tour to make everyone in the group happy. He also has a great background in biology and knows a ton about the various plants, trees, and wildlife which was a nice bonus! We learned a ton and really felt like this was a great experience. Thanks to John to hooking us up with Rob!

Commissioned in 1977 and hung high overhead in the West and East Auditoriums in Yosemite National Park until recently, now the family of the artiest who created them, Miriam McNitt has loned them to the John Muir Geo-toursim Center. At this time, they can only be viewed on special occasions or by appointment.

Rainbow Pool

We arrived at midday and left at 3:30pm. It was such a wonderful experience. Yes there were lots of people but the atmosphere was fun filled and friendly so didn't take away from the visit.
The place is a natural beauty and well worth the visit. If you don't have a confident swimmer with you like our 4yr old then we recommend taking floats for them to also enjoy the water fall currents more comfortably and safely.
