You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Yosemite wilderness while your expert guide provides security and safety on the trail. Your guide will also be available to take photos of your group so that you have amazing shots from your day out in Yosemite!

Expect to hike four to five miles with minimal elevation gains on a tour that lasts approximately five hours. Moderate Hike You’ll escape from the crowds and take some of Yosemite’s most scenic trails a little further during a hiking tour that is perfect for novice hikers who want a bit more of a challenge.

Whilst we had fun we felt that our guide could have given us more education along the way.

We were privileged to arrive in Yosemite a few days after a late winter snowstorm to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and to have John guide us on one intermediate and one moderate hike. We could not have asked for a better guide to help us navigate and enjoy the park in these conditions. For the intermediate hike, John took us to Columbia Rock and then "Oh My Gosh Point" to view the entire length of Yosemite Falls. John gave us traction devices for our shoes (Yukon Charlie's Slip-Nots) and poles so we could climb comfortably and confidently to reach an amazing lookout where no one else had been since the snow fell. Our moderate hike two days later turned into a snowshoeing expedition. John provided the snowshoes and took us up to Inspiration Point where ate lunch overlooking the a beautiful view on what felt like the edge of the world. We would not have been able to do either of these trips without John. His intimate knowledge of the trails, the history of the park, the names of every rock formation, Indian legends, trees, geology, and so much more taught us a lot and gave us a lot to think about. More importantly, his sense of humor, his sensitivity to our needs, and his ability to make us feel safe and taken care of helped us enjoy this remarkable place without worry. He even brought a plastic garbage bag for us to sit on while we ate lunch so our seats stayed dry! We also appreciated the clear communication from Catherine about logistical arrangements. We have no complaints - only happy memories and a desire to come back and do more!

We had a fantastic time with our guide Jay! He was extremely knowledgeable and filled the hike with history, nature fun facts and great storytelling. The views we saw from Sentinel Dome during the morning part of our hike were exceptional! We ran into some trouble when the weather took a turn and fog rolled in, putting a damper on our hike. Jay took it in stride and kept us entertained even though there was nothing to see for more than half of the hike save for the eerie dense fog straight out of a horror movie. We already know we want to travel back to Yosemite because of all we missed out on given the weather challenges and we will definitely be back to YExplore whenever we can make a trip back.
