Yosemite's High Sierra camps boast an amazing experience that is part warm hospitality, part adventure. Located high in the wilderness, obtainable only by foot or by saddle, are five unique hike-to camps spaced 5.7 to 10 miles apart along a loop trail in Yosemite's beautiful High Country.

Partaking of the Yosemite High Sierra Camps takes backpacking to an entirely new dimension. On High Camp Loop Trips, you are free to hike at your own pace. Free of the weight of tents and multiple days' food and water, you'll find more time to enjoy the scenery and less time wondering when you can drop your pack.

Overnight accommodations in Yosemite at the High Sierra Camps includes full dinner and breakfast, served up family-style in cozy dining tents. Box lunches for the next day on the trail are available at an additional cost and may be ordered the night before departure.

Testimonials

“I went on the highsierra camp loop in 1956 with a guide and loved it. It was the beginning of my love for Yosemite and the hihg country. I am now lucky to be able to do it again in 2010. I can't wait to do it again. Wonderful experience. I am 78 years old and still can hike 8-10 miles. So you are never too old!!”
