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.

Highly recommend Lasting Adventures. Their equipment was high quality, providing us everything we needed (included in the price). We had two highly experienced guides who kept us safe, well fed, and as comfortable as possible during this 3 1/2 day trip. They were both highly knowledgeable about Yosemite, and provided excellent context around the park's history, its wildlife, trees, and plants. Our group of 5 consisted of family and friends, all adults. We did this backpacking trip at the perfect time of year, when the weather was sunny and moderately warm by day, and a chilly at night. This was a lifetime experience. This outfitting / guide company donates all its profits to a foundation that enables underprivileged youth to experience the beauty of the outdoors, making them unique and well deserving of your business. A word of advice: pay close attention to their information and pre-registration guidance. This was some challenging backpacking with a 40-45 pack carrying all your gear and supplies up and down some steep trails. Condition yourself well in advance as their guidance suggests. If you have any doubt whether you're health and fitness is suited for this trek, call them to discuss. Also, travel insurance with a medical rider is highly recommended just in case, as you are truly in backcountry where the only way out in a medical emergency is by helicopter. Not expensive to obtain. An incredible experience.

I live only a 3 Hour Drive from Yosemite but I had never been to the top of Half Dome before. This was basically something I’ve been wanting to do my whole life. This experience did not disappoint. Lasting Adventures was well organized and our guide Trey was superb. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, conscientious and took great care of us.
