Parks Across America Tour: Central California Parks | The Institute for Creation Research

Join us for a memorable tour of Central California’s beautiful scenery—from the beautiful waters of Monterey Bay to the towering granite cliffs of Yosemite National Park and the gigantic redwood trees of Sequoia National Park. This immersive adventure tour is designed to equip participants with a deeper understanding of God’s creation through hands-on learning and biblical insight.

When: Tuesday, September 29th - Tuesday, October 6th, 2026
Where: Starting in San Francisco, ending in Fresno (book your flights accordingly!)

What’s in Store:
Join ICR scientists and friends of ICR for 8 days / 7 nights of adventure as we explore and learn about evidences for the Global Flood, and the intricacies and exquisite engineering of God's handiwork seen in the ecology of the beautiful parks of Central California.

Our adventures begin in San Francisco and will start off with a tour of the California Academy of Sciences Museums and Aquarium and a welcome dinner and presentation on the evening of September 29th. Then, we will board our charter bus, and head to Monterey where we will tour the world class Monterey Bay Aquarium, and enjoy a whale watching excursion in Monterey Bay.

From there, we will venture in-land to the legendary Yosemite National Park, home of Half Dome and El Capitan, and a host of stunning waterfalls and pristine forests. After two days of adventuring in Yosemite, we will head south to Sequoia National Park to see first hand the magnificent Red Wood forests. We will spend parts of two days wandering amongst these beautiful giants, and then wrap up our tour with a time of reflection and time to share about our experiences before we travel to Fresno on Tuesday, October 6th for our flight back home.

Along the way, you'll hear first-hand from ICR scientists and experts as they share about the evidences for creation, the Global Flood, and biological design seen in each location of our tour. You'll also have the opportunity to fellowship with like-minded champions of creation - forming new friendships, and deepening the bond you've made with fellow alumni of previous Parks Across America Tours.

We would love for you to join us as we explore and learn about these beautiful locations, share in fellowship together, and build memories for a life time!
