Quarantine Daydreams: A Yosemite Escape in Photos

Have a Yosemite Adventure On Us … In Photos

A reminder of what to look forward to when coronavirus passes.

No two ways about it—self-distancing is a bummer. Exploratory spirits are not made for confined spaces, and weeks into the COVID quarantine, we face a new health threat—stir-craziness. Luckily, our guides have captured lots of visuals in their time on-trail to help us escape the indoors, if only with our minds, for now. Enjoy this vicarious vacation; the real thing is out there waiting!

We’ll be back soon enough, Yosemite.

A guest of our guided backpacking trip finds reprieve from the sun in his OR Interstellar Bivy, strumming one of our favorite trail toys, a Kala ukulele.

What beats ending the day with a sunset view from the top of Half Dome? Maybe the customary dinner at dusk that your guides are prepping below the cables? A cherry on top, nonetheless.
