Your guide will meet you at the parking area for the Mariposa Grove, near the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park . From the parking area, it's a 2 mile hike into the grove of Giant Sequoias (if the free shuttle is running, you'll have the opportunity to shuttle to the grove instead of hike). For the remainder of the day, you'll wander through the incredible, looming forest of Sequoia trees and visiting the Grizzy Giant, Yosemite's largest Sequoia Tree. Your guide will customize the day based on your interests and abilities.
SYMG guides are professional, highly experienced, enjoyable people that have spent years perfecting their interpretive and mountain skills in and around Yosemite. They look forward to teaching and guiding you in these spectacular locations as well as getting to know you. Tell your guide your goals and s/he will do their best to meet your needs in a safe and enjoyable manner! Gratuities are accepted and appreciated for a job well done.

Plan to bring the following items in a small daypack for your guided hike:

Your trip begins at the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. You will need your own vehicle or transportation for this day, plan for extra time to get to your destination and find parking. Traffic can be heavy in Yosemite National Park during the peak months of summer, so keep this in mind.
