6 Day Yosemite Backpacking - The Hidden Yosemite

Overview

Many believe that the northern portion of Yosemite National Park is the last true wilderness of the Sierra Nevada. This trip will take you through the less visited portion of the park that is home to deep canyons, dense old-growth forests, and stunning alpine peaks and ridges. On this adventure you will camp besides rivers, and backcountry lakes that provide a dramatic landscape of the Northern Yosemite terrain including camping in upper Slide Canyon beneath the Sawtooth Ridge. If you’re looking to push yourself and have an authentic wilderness experience, this is the adventure for you!

I chose the Hidden Yosemite trip and joined two other Washingtonians that I hike with regularly. What an incredible trip. First and foremost, our guides Will and Bella were awesome. They kept us well fed, educated on the history of Yosemite. Who knew that the white powder on an aspen tree could be used as sunscreen? They made the whole journey memorable. I can’t imagine a better way to experience this amazing place. A sincere thank you to Lasting Adventures and to Will and Bella!

Lasting Adventures and more specifically our guide, Zachary Naegele, made my trip to Yosemite a dream vacation! It was stress-free because every detail was covered from food and transportation to clear meeting instructions and itinerary. Zachary was a joy to have on hikes because he was knowledgeable, competent and personable. He took a hike that would have been fun and made it magical by explaining the history and ecology of the area we were hiking. He matched our athletic pace and often let us lead so we didn't feel "pressured" to keep up as all the people in my group were not used to the altitude. His calm and confident control of the situation when I got scared trying to summit Lembert Dome was priceless and I couldn't have asked for anyone better when I panicked! I can't say enough good things about Zachary and Lasting Adventures. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

Our Lasting Adventures Yosemite trip was one of the highlights of the summer! Eric and Emily were engaging, prepared, and knowledgeable guides. They led us on quite the adventure through Tuolumene meadows, to Catherdral lakes, all the way out to May lake, and back to our bus in 6 days. Eric prepared thoughtful and informative lessons on the Yosemite winderness for the kids and Emily took amazing pictures and prepared us delicious trail dinners. The experience was unforgettable and all of the kids left with high energy, big smiles, and great stories. Without Lasting Adventures we never would have been able to experience these wild and beautiful places on our own. We are so grateful for the experience that the Guides provided, the energy, the laughter, the games and the lessons. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. It is something that The kids and I will carry with us for a long time.
