Yosemite Hiking Trips

Hiking - Day Guides - Gear List

  • Lunch: Bring a box lunch from your hotel, or bring snacks. Many people, when in Yosemite Valley, choose to enjoy lunch at the historic, famous Ahwahnee Hotel.
  • Rain Coat: Gore-Tex or a similar fabric. Wind and rain resistant.
  • Sunglasses: Lenses that have ultra violet protection.
  • Personal Toiletries: Sunscreen, chapstick, lotion.
  • Medications: Bring any special medications you need.
  • Water Bottle: A bottle should not leak, have a large mouth and hold at least one liter. If you do not own one recycle a plastic Gatorade container.
  • Book / Journal: Not necessary, but you may be able to enjoy some quiet time prior to sleep or during the day.
  • Camera: Don't forget extra film/cards and batteries!

The above is by no means a complete or exhaustive list. If you have questions, call SYMG and ask. Remember, SYMG brings water filters, maps, matches, compasses, emergency/first aid gear, and toilet paper.
