Private groups are typically picked up at a company location. Our San Diego buses open to individuals normally pick up on Thursday or Friday afternoon around 1 or 2 pm. The pickup points and times vary as we try to offer company pickups whenever possible. Typically we have a Sorrento Mesa area pickup followed by a North County pickup somewhere on the I 15. Our route travels up the less crowded I-15 to 395 to Mammoth! Our charter buses are through Gold Coast Tours and Sun Diego Charter. NOTE: Some trips leave very early in the day - if you can get off work it makes for a much nicer trip!
