What To Expect

Yosemite National Park

You’ll meet your experienced guide at the trail and set out to see Yosemite from a different perspective. Every tour is designed to take advantage of the best locations available at the time of your visit, with an effort to avoid the crowds, even at the height of the summer season. Travel along less-visited trails with your expert guide, getting an incredible experience of the forest, waterfalls and meadows around Yosemite Valley. 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!

Yosemite Valley

Choose from two options for your family or group: Beginner Hike Enjoy a pleasant half-day hike on a gentle trail in Yosemite Valley or the High Country with excellent photo opportunities. You’ll have a picnic at a scenic site, either a magnificent vista point or alongside a meadow, lake, or stream. 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. Expect to hike five to six miles with elevation gains up to 1000 feet (305m) on a tour that lasts approximately six hours.

Since this trip to Yosemite was the first for my husband, our 10-yr old daughter, and myself, as an adult, we made the right decision to book a moderate private guided hiking tour. Our guide was Ashley and she was amazing! She provided us with a lot of information during our hike, and was also very engaging with our daughter and took time to educate her on some plants, little crawlers, and birds we encountered on the trail. We started at lower Yosemite falls and ended at Mirror Lake. We saw so many incredible, breathtaking and picturesque scenery, abundant waterfalls and flowing creeks! We can’t wait to book another hiking event with YExplore. They are extremely organized and provided good communication! Highly recommended.

I'm so glad that I chose to do a guided hike with Y Explore after reading so many positive reviews, it lived up to my expectations! I hiked Yosemite Falls with John and could not have been more happy with my day. John is super nice & knowledgeable about Yosemite and beyond. I hope to hike again with Y Explore in the future.

We have been hiking with John and his guides for over 7 years now. We have gotten quite familiar with the park and despite being able to hike all over on our own, we always choose to hike with John and his guides. I can't say enough about the entire Yexplore team...they are all exceptional from Catherine and her supreme efficiency, kindness and thoroughness to John and next level professionalism, passion for Yosemite, as an environmentalist, photographer and expertise. I always learn something, am challenged, inspired and blown away. We brought a friend of ours and hiked down and up to the valley floor with guide Carly Lucas, then hiked sentinel to taft point....one of the most spectacular views in the park. Carly was amazing...so professional, well informed, encouraging to our friend as it was his first time and kept checking in on him to make sure he was doing okay. We enjoyed the morning with her and hiked about 11 - 12 miles..it was just incredible.
