Yosemite Backpacking Trips
Backpacking - Trans-Sierra Trail to Mt. Whitney
10 Days / 9 Nights, Strenuous
A grand crossing of the Sierra Nevada through Sequoia Nat'l Park, culminating in an ascent of Mt. Whitney from the west, coupled with dramatic hiking deep in the wilderness makes this backpacking trip one of our most spectacular adventures. This 83-mile Trans-Sierra crossing takes us through the most remote spots of the High Sierra. You'll climb Mt. Whitney from a direction that hikers seldomly see. Our travels take us on 3 famous trails: The John Muir Trail, The High Sierra Trail, and we exit the wilderness on the Pacific Crest Trail. This is a true backpacker's adventure. This trip was chosen as a featured REI Adventures' departure.
Well, I'm home--off the mountain and cleaned up, but this doesn't mean that I want to be off the mountain! Thank you again for an unforgettable trip. - Jill Pagliaro
