Many of us cannot wait for a change of scenery and have us daydreaming of far off adventures. The effects of social distancing have left many feeling cabin-feverish. Though we all try to stay busy by keeping active and working from home during the COVID-19 outbreak, it's easy to fall into a rut. Luckily, there's more than one way to stave off boredom. Broaden your horizons with some virtual tours. From National Parks to the Met, let’s explore incredible destinations virtually. 

 

Yosemite National Park – Located in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite is known for all the climbing opportunities it offers on El Capitan and Half Dome as well as its giant sequoias, granite cliffs, waterfalls, and lakes. Explore the park with this virtual tour. 

 

Inspired? Yosemite is only two and a half hours from Fresno Yosemite Airport. This park is a must see and Frontier can help you get there.
