4 Day Half Dome Backpacking

Overview

Our 4-day Half Dome guided backpacking tours are specially designed to make your journey to the summit as spectacular as possible! This guided tour kicks off in Yosemite Valley. From there we’ll hit the trail and guests will hike and camp alongside fabled waters like Sunrise Lakes or the Merced River. Our expert guides make your experience 5-star with delicious camp-cooked cuisine and comfort provisions around camp, while on-trail pointing out the lesser-known factual gems that surround you. The magic climaxes either on the final evening or the final morning, when you’ll climb the cables up Half Dome’s summit for a truly spectacular sunrise or sunset.

My husband and I just finished our 4 day Yosemite Backpacking from GP to HD. We had excellent guides that always made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Well organized tour. The food was excellent ! We even had breakfast with hot coffee etc waiting for us when we reached the top of Half Dome! What more can you ask for!

My brother and I took our mother on the four day backpacking trip from Glacier Point to Half Dome. It was a bucket list item for her but she had never backpacked. Our guides, Emma and Matt, did an outstanding job keeping us on schedule and helping her when needed, especially up the cables. They provided the proper gear and provided amazing meals for the duration of the trip (including stir fry while enjoying the sunset on the top of Half Dome!). The guides were also extremely knowledgeable about Yosemite and I enjoyed picking their brains about the park and it’s history. I’d recommend this trip to anybody, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience!! Thank you Lasting Adventures, Matt and Emma rock!!

I took my 21-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter and we had an amazing trip with high quality bonding time. Matt and Emma led our group and we were in great hands. Food and attitudes and activity all well done. The hiking was well planned - a fairly easy first day from Glacier Point to Illilouette Creek then relaxing in the creek on a hot afternoon. Second morning hike over to Little Yosemite Valley, where we relaxed in the early afternoon and then started our trek up to Half Dome. We arrived in time for a beautiful sunset (extra beautiful given some remaining smoke in the area), and Matt and Emma made us a stir fry dinner on the top of Half Dome! We were literally the only group up there. We were down the cables in dusk and then hiked back to camp with headlamps, seeing all sorts of critters that only come out at night. The third day was an easy hike past the waterfalls and back down to the valley.
