5 Day Yosemite Backpacking - Yosemite Icons

Overview

For the hiker wanting to see it all, the Yosemite Icons trip offers stunning views of Yosemite’s most famous landmarks from rarely seen perspectives. Experience the adrenalin rush of peering over the sheer 3,000 foot face of El Capitan –the mecca of rock climbers around the world. Feel the mist of the roaring Yosemite Falls as you stand over the water plunging nearly 1500 feet to the pool below making it one of the tallest free-falling waterfalls in the world. Have lunch while gazing down on the granite bubble North Dome and relax while watching the sunset on the valley from Eagle Peak. This is a bucket list backpacking trip that lets you get up close and personal with scenes most people only see on postcards in the gift shop.

This was the best trip our family took part in on our 3 week holiday in California. Our guides Kara & Ian were fun, kind, organised, knowledgeable & in tune with the different needs within our group. When there was an unexpected (small) fire which forced us to reroute, they were really good at suggesting alternatives. We learned so much about the park wildlife, flora & history and we were very well fed along the way. Highlight was surely the red velvet cake (with icing)cooked on an open fire after sunset! The kit we hired was really good quality. Would highly recommend this trip if you enjoy proper hiking & want to get away from the tourist trails on the valley floor.

Thanks for the kind review and really excited to hear you had a great time even despite the re-route due to the fire. We are lucky to have guides like kara and Ian who provide lasting memories for all. Thanks again and happy travels! -Scott

This was my second trip with Lasting Adventures and it was a great experience. Emily R led this trip and she took great care of our group. The meals were amazing and fun such as pita pizzas, pesto tortellini, and pad Thai. Emily also kept the group entertained with fun facts about Yosemite history such as the story of Granny the bear and the nightly Elmer call. Overall it was a great experience and chance to see beyond the Yosemite Valley.
