Yosemite Hiking & Camping

Yosemite Guided Hikes
It goes without saying that Yosemite National Park provides one of the world's most phenomenal backdrops for hiking and exploration. You can journey with our guides on a variety of day hikes ranging from a few hours in length to full day trips to the top of Half Dome.  Interested in overnight backpacking?  Sign up for our group backpacking trips, or have our staff work with you to design a custom backpacking trip just for your group.  High Sierra Camps provide tremendous access to the Yosemite backcountry without the need to carry a big pack, just carry your essentials and then enjoy a hot meal prepared by our staff and take advantage of our tent cabins.

  • Group Hikes – a wide variety of hiking trips to accommodate everyone.  Includes a Bike to Hike.
  • Custom Day Hikes – allows us more freedom to plan a trip just for you or your group.  We guide Half Dome.
  • Overnight Backpacking Trips – A range of group and custom trips available

Testimonials

“The Ahwahnee surpassed all our expectations on the occasion of our 30th anniversary. Every detail was splendid and memorable - right down to the rose petals on the bed in the shape of a heart, and the cheery rubber duckies! The dinner in the dining room was regal, and the champagne flowed with splendor, as did the Yosemite Falls just outside our balcony. Altogether, a perfect place for a seasoned romance, or the start of a new one... ”
