Join us for a private, multi-day backpacking trip in Yosemite National Park!
Highlights:
See some of the best of what Yosemite has to offer on a multi-day Backpacking Trip in Yosemite! Keep it private with just you and your family while enjoying the great outdoors. Our most common trip lengths are 4, 5, or 6 days, and are available to book above; if you would like a longer trip, please reach out to us at [email protected]
We have a variety of Wilderness Permits in Yosemite throughout the summer. Dates are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Meeting locations will be determined by the permit we have available on the day you booked for; most meeting locations will be in Tuolumne Meadows, though some will start in Yosemite Valley at Curry Village.
We are avoiding providing transportation this year, so most backpacks will be a loop or an out-and-back trip.
We require at least 3 participants for a trip, and are currently capped at 8 due to Yosemite Park regulations. All trips must have at least one adult. Feel free to contact us if you are looking for a private youth trip.
Check out photos from around Yosemite!
Itinerary
Day 1: Meet your guide at your designated meeting location at 4 pm. Your guide will help you do a pack check and give a helpful packing demonstration. Tonight will be spent in a backpacker’s campground in Yosemite.
Day 2+: Once everyone is ready to hit the trail a quick stretching circle and daily debrief will take place. Your journey will take you 4-8 miles, stopping at viewpoints along the way. We’ll plan on camping along a lake, stream, or other water source, where your guide will cook you a healthy meal, followed by stories and a beautiful sunset.
Last Day: On your final day, you will be greeted with a warm drink as we break down camp and prepare breakfast. Afterward, the hike back to your vehicle will begin.
Other:
We include backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, pads, trekking poles, and eating utensils at NO EXTRA COST as needed. All profits from our guided trips go towards our non-profit youth summer camp program.
Note: All trips are subject to Lasting Adventures obtaining the necessary wilderness permits. Although our success rate is 98%, should we not obtain the exact trail-head, a trip of equal quality will be obtained. Should weather, fire, and/or delayed seasonal openings affect the chosen itinerary, a different itinerary will be offered. Lasting Adventures is recognized for its commitment to safety and risk management. Itineraries may be changed in order to minimize risk exposure.
*All trips are pending permit availability which we gain around mid-late February. Please refrain from making travel arrangements until we have confirmed dates.
