5 Day Yosemite Backpacking - Amazing Sunsets

Overview

If you’re looking for an incredible backcountry adventure that isn’t too strenuous, look no further! During this five-day trip you’ll experience some of Yosemite’s pristine wilderness locations. Camp at the base of Mount Hoffman (10,850′) along the shore of May Lake. Swim, relax, or opt for a four-mile roundtrip hike to the summit of Mount Hoffman. Trek through high alpine meadows as you make your way to Polly Dome Lake—a hidden location surrounded partially by granite. Camp at Glen Aulin, nestled at the mouth of the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River. Amazing sunsets are a specialty along this route! This trip is perfect for a family backpacking adventure, or those wanting something less strenuous.

From registration to trip completion Lasting Adventures provided excellent service and truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks to our guide Trey for his professionalism, vast knowledge, hiking and cooking skills, flexibility, and adaptability. Trey’s back country experience allowed the group to experience and truly enjoy places and things we could not do on our own. Lasting Adventures did not cut any corners, the equipment and food were excellent! I highly recommend this guide service, they secured all the permits and communication was excellent. I can’t wait to go again!

I can’t say enough good things about my trip with Lasting Adventures! Max and Gus were absolutely amazing guides. They did a great job explaining all of the plans and protocols, ensuring everyone was comfortable, and probably most importantly for me, accommodated my dietary restrictions. They were also a seemingly endless font of knowledge; though I day hike in the Sierras regularly, I learned SO much about the local flora and fauna. I was also given a very valuable lesson in orienteering! In addition, they didn’t make me feel bad about my slower pace. Recently, I’ve been dealing with some health issues and this trip has helped me developed the mental fortitude to deal with my symptoms; if I can spend 4 nights in the wilderness, I can surely accomplish anything! I definitely left with memories to last a lifetime, and the unquenchable hunger to return to the mountains. I highly recommend choosing Lasting Adventures!!

My husband and I just completed a great backpacking trip with Lasting Adventures. Registration and communication with the company was first rate, responsive and timely. Our guides, Gus and Max, were knowledgeable, encouraging, and cooked delicious food for us at every meal. The epitome was watching the set set over Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, while our guides made us dessert right there on the bluff: hot donuts! Our guides had endless amounts of information about Yosemite history, flora, fauna, and geology, which we appreciated very much. There were seven in our group, plus the guides, and we all enjoyed meeting each other, hiking together, and working together to solve the riddles that the guides posed. Great trip!
