Semi-Guided Yosemite Valley Triathlon Adventure | Hike, Bike & Swim

Experience Yosemite Valley like never before on this action-packed, multi-sport adventure! The Yosemite Valley Triathlon Adventure combines mountain biking, swimming, and cross-country hiking to create a full-day exploration of the park’s most iconic sights.

Your adventure begins with an easy, self-guided 8-mile bike ride through Yosemite Valley’s famous landmarks. Mountain bikes, maps, and a fun photo scavenger list are provided to make the ride interactive and engaging for all skill levels. Your biking journey concludes at a scenic swimming hole on the Merced River, where you'll meet your guide for the next portion of your adventure, and can cool off before a long, relaxing lunch break.

After lunch, the adventure continues with a 2-mile guided round-trip cross-country hike at the base of El Capitan. This route includes short rock scrambles along the historic abandoned Stage Coach Road, giving you a hands-on taste of Yosemite’s rugged backcountry.

This semi-guided adventure is designed for kids 8 and older but is equally fun for adults, families, and groups of all fitness levels. Private customization options are available to tailor the pace and activities to your group.
