Yosemite Backpacking Trips
Backpacking - Alpine Lakes
5 Days / 4 Nights, Moderate
Remote timberline lakes, spectacular views of the Sierra Crest, and an itinerary geared towards exploration of this seemingly untouched landscape, create an ideal setting for our most popular backpacking trip. Hike through the Ansel Adams Wilderness, and see views of Yosemite seldom seen by others. On the first day, meet your guide at your accommodations for orientation & gear organization. The following morning, hike approximately 5 miles to basecamp. The next two days are spent hiking to numerous sub-alpine and alpine lakes, and may include a summit trek where you'll have the opportunity to look down on the famed Yosemite monolith, Half Dome. Day 5 will arrive too quickly, and five miles later, we'll arrive back at the trailhead in the early afternoon.
"Vunderbar!! By the way (or perhaps far from the way), thank you for your prompt responses, helpful information and attention. It is one of the major reasons I chose your outfit. None of the other places I contacted were comparable. It does make a difference." - Janet Kelly, June 2006
