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!

In August our family (includes 2 teenagers) went on a Hidden Yosemite trip with Lasting Adventures. We were joined by two others on the trip and our two Lasting Adventure Guides. This was out first trip to Yosemite and it was an amazing experience for the entire family. We departed for the back country from Tuolomne Meadows with an end point of Twin Lakes, outside the part. After the first fewmiles we saw very few other parties. The views were incredible and we had the opportunity to engage in lots of activities that suited our own interests including fishing and additional hikes and scrambling. Our guides were very knowledgeable and provided learning experiences throughout the trip related to the history of the park and the surrounding region and the biology and geology of the area. We all learned a huge amount about the area and our teenagers were enthralled by the overall experience, never even missing access to the Internet! The guides also prepared wonderful meals throughout the trip and took care of dishes and water, making it a real vacation for us. They also helped the two separate parties in our group bond and come together as a single expedition. The work of our guides meant that we could relax and watch the sun rise and set, take pictures observe wildlife and soak up the marvel that is Yosemite. In addition, we flew to California to start our trip and as a result we used Lasting's equipment rather than bringing our own. We found the equipment to be new, clean and well maintained. We did have one backpack where the backpack size did not precisely match the carriers torso length so would encourage additional homework in this area if you are going to use on of Lasting's packs. This trip was a great family vacation and experience and we are planning to go back and explore more of the Yosemite area with Lasting. I highly recommend this trip

My 12-year-old son had a terrific time! Thank you for taking good care of him on his first backpacking trek. Two days home and he’s already talking about next year.

Thanks for the review! It was our pleasure to host your son on trail. We hope to see him back next year, maybe for a summer camp in Olympic National Park? Cheers!

The recent HIdden Yosemite backpack trip was my first Lasting Adventures experience and first time in Yosemite National Park. I couldn't ask for a better initial immersion into place, with two outstanding guides, Bella and Will. The route they chose offered daily wonders that kept my soul and spirit in awe. Bella and Will generously offer playful, positive energy, species and ecology information that heightened my reception of the Yosemite wonders, fresh cooked meals (unbelievable), and an ease of time together on the trail. If you're looking for an outstanding experience in Yosemite, I strongly recommend you connect with Lasting Adventures.
