Y*explore Yosemite Adventures Launches a Redesigned Web Site

Yosemite National Park, CA, January 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Y*explore Yosemite Adventures (http://yexplore.com) unveils an updated website with an impressive new array of outdoor activity choices for Yosemite National Park travelers. The company offers professionally guided adventure hikes, nature excursions, and photography workshops to individuals, groups, and families of all ages and experience levels.

New offerings in 2010 will be nature excursions led by David Lukas, a renowned Sierra Nevada naturalist. These will include opportunities for half and full day nature hikes, birding tours, wildflower walks, and full day naturalist transects throughout various ecological zones of Yosemite. Company founder John DeGrazio proudly states “The ability to introduce visitors to a naturalist the caliber of David Lukas is really what separates Y*explore from others in our industry. His knowledge of the natural world amazes everyone who joins him for a day in Yosemite. We are able to provide visitors with more than just a sightseeing tour. These interpretive educations allow them to think about how organisms are interrelated in the natural world. Their newfound knowledge often allows them to examine their own lives and consider how they can affect change. It’s a wonderful process to witness.”

Another introductory program will be yoga hikes in Yosemite’s high country with Vinyasa Flow yoga instructor, Cherie Newman. Cherie operates the Yoga Loft in Sonora, California, and her style of teaching has evolved from more than a decade of studying and practicing yoga with nationally and internationally recognized teachers. DeGrazio’s enthusiasm for this series is evident. “We are always looking for groundbreaking ways to pique the interest of park enthusiasts. Cherie's a wonderful person who I am confident will successfully synergize her style with the landscape of Yosemite.” Dates for these hikes will be: July 25, August 14, and September 11.

In addition to the aforementioned activities, custom tours are available in every season including snowshoe tours all winter. Other upcoming opportunities include Horsetail Fall Winter Photo Sessions in mid February as well as the company’s annual Twin Valleys Waterfall Workshops May 14-16. This year’s event during peak waterfall season will include photography workshops as well as birding tours and naturalist walks through Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite Valleys. Space is limited to ensure a more personalized experience. Interested parties may call (800) 886-8009 or email tours@yexplore.com for registration to any program.
