Our guide Jay was ready and waiting for us as we arrived early for our first Yosemite hike. Our beginners hike was exactly that. Jay led the hike keeping my 6-year-old daughters interests and ability foremost, which is exactly what I wanted. Jay was knowledgeable and experienced, as well as very friendly. He was even prepared with antiseptic and Band-Aid to fix a small scrape when my daughter slipped. The map and driving directions prepared by Catherine were precise and absolutely perfect. We were first-time visitors to Yosemite but left with so much thanks to Jay, John and Catherine of Yexplore. I would recommend this hike to anyone!

Took my 6-year-old daughter on two Yosemite hikes, both guides were absolutely great and tailored the experience to her interests and ability. The scenery was spectacular and the guides shared a lot of interesting information about things we would never have known without their help along the way. We saw sequoias and other interesting flora as well as encountering a few deer, squirrels, chipmunks and a frog and marmot along the way. We were completely satisfied with the experience and would recommend Jay and John of Yexplore as guides to anyone. Can't wait to book another hiking trip with Yexplore!!!
