					Highly recommended! We booked a Lasting Adventures guided winter hike in Yosemite National Park. The booking process through Viator went very smoothly and we made email contact with the company in the days before our hike, requesting trekking poles to use.Our guide, August, met us right on time in the front office of Yosemite Valley Lodge and we discussed our hiking options. Deciding to hike to to the top of Nevada Falls, we set off together. August was knowledgeable and looked after us very well. He had a thorough knowledge of Yosemite Valley trails and was able to steer us clear of the ones that were closed. While we were hiking he gave us some of the history of the valley and told us about the ecology of the forests.When one of the trails we wanted to take was unexpectedly closed, August was able to offer other suggestions and we set off for Clark’s Point on the Muir Trail instead. Even though we’re quite experienced hikers, was great to have a knowledgeable guide with us to tell us about the area and share his personal stories. We were lucky enough to encounter a coyote on the descent, which is apparently very rare in the valley. Without a guide with us, we wouldn’t have known just how rare it was. I wish we’d organised ourselves a bit better and booked Lasting Adventures to take us to the Sequoia groves as well. Oh well, maybe next time.Would thoroughly recommend Lasting Adventures to enhance your hiking experience in Yosemite. So glad we booked them.

					A Must-Do hike of Yosemite National Park! Our family, two adults and two teens (ages 16 and 15) had one day to explore Yosemite. This tour was the perfect way to do it! Matt, our guide, was excellent, laid back and full of information. It seemed like we were a group of friends wandering the trails, past the granite faces and rushing rivers and waterfalls instead of two families from different countries meeting for the first time. We made our way through Camp Four, past Yosemite Falls and out to Half Dome and Mirror Lake over the course of the day. We had a leisurely lunch by Mirror Lake, with Matt sharing the history of the area, the history of climbing and us sharing more about ourselves. Such an easy-going beautiful spring day, but we still hiked over eight miles! We have enjoyed many tours with our teens, allowing us to learn about the area while exploring a new place together and this tour did not disappoint! Be sure to take time for this one, especially if you are limited on time at Yosemite! And be sure to watch the movie Valley Uprising for more history of the area! Thank you, Matt and Lasting Adventures!

					Lasting Adventures - Best Way to Experience Yosemite Given our Limited Time in the Park! My sister and I (retirees) and her 11 year old grandson booked the one day Winter Valley tour with Lasting Adventures and it was the highlight of our recent California trip. The morning of our tour was cold and icy. Matt, our tour leader, was on time and eager to provide an experience that would maximize our time and was in line with our fitness levels. Even though the weather wasn't optimal, we experienced all the major highlights - Yosemite Falls, El Capitan, Half Dome, Tunnel View and more. Matt was informative, flexible and we all liked his engaging manner. Perhaps the best aspect of the tour was how easily he established a rapport with our 11 year old who enjoyed relating to a young man so knowledgeable about the Park and its features. We would encourage everyone with limited time at Yosemite to book this tour and if you're lucky to have Matt as your guide, it's sure to be a memorable experience.
