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
  • Learn to Backpack Trips – an overnight trip focusing on learning the skills you will need to backpack on your own.
  • Camping – General information about camping opportunities in the Park

Testimonials

“We try to eat at the Mountain Room everytime we visit Yosemite. My son has Celiac Disease and in the past The Mountain Room has always been very accommodating. This time when I asked if a particular item was gluten-free, they presented a gluten-free menu. IN THE MIDDLE OF YOSEMITE!!! I can't tell you how great that is. It can be so difficult for my son to have a nice meal like everyone else, and there were a ton of delicious options on your gluten-free menu. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
