It's a real adventure. I went with my 10 year old grandson and we had a fantastic time. Much more fun than I expected and they also offer gold panning and have an aerial adventure course that I plan on taking all my grandchildren to! You have to book in advance during the busy season. It's just minutes to Yosemite Zip tours. Call 209-742-4844 and check out Yosemiteziptours.com
