Yosemite Backpacking Trips
Backpacking - Half Dome Backpacking Weekend
4 Days / 3 Nights, Moderate
On this 4-day adventure we'll start with staying the first night in Yosemite Valley in the Curry Village tent cabins. We'll get up early the next morning and start our backpack along the Merced River. Our route follows the famous Mist Trail, starting at Happy Isles, where we'll pass Vernal and Nevada Falls before staying the night in Little Yosemite Valley. We'll set up camp and relax while enjoying a wonderful night of stargazing in the Yosemite back country. The next morning we'll get an alpine start and begin our journey up the world-famous Half Dome, Yosemite's most iconic feature. After enjoying lunch on the summit, we hike back down to camp, were we'll relax while taking a refreshing swim in the Merced River, have dinner and campfire after an incredible day in the High Sierra. The next morning we'll pack up camp and casually hike down the famous and historic John Muir Trail back to Yosemite Valley.
