The Yosemite Area


Matty Chopper helicopter tours has strong roots in the Yosemite because this is where we live.  Our home is just outside of Yosemite park in the town of Coarsegold California.  While helicopters are not allowed in the park, there are dozens of other places of interest locally and we'd be delighted to provide you with other ways to spice up your trip to see Yosemite.

Bass Lake

Probably one of the best places we have ever gone swimming is Bass Lake.  See our friends at Millers Landing to rent patio boats, wave runners, and other fun water toys. 
One half of this pristine sierra mountain lake is still mostly park area and it's remarkably uncrowded most of the year.

Kaiser Wilderness Area

Unless you're a hardcore backpacker and hiker, you're not going to get to see most of the equally spectacular rock formations in this area unless you're in a helicopter.  Our base of operations is just a quick 15 minute flight to these impressive rock formations that are reminiscent of those found in the Yosemite valley.

Hiking In Yosemite

The good news is that Yosemite National
Park is an amazing wonder of the world, the bad news is that the only way to get in there is to drive and if you don't get going early, you'll blow too much of your day just driving in and out of the park.  If you're into hiking, please checkout the Hiking in Yosemite Page or Contact us so that we can help you to plan your trip and get the most of your stay.





St George Reef Lighthouse
Palace of the legion of Honor Trinity Alps
