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

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.

I highly recommend touring Yosemite with YExplore. From recommending the appropriate hikes for our desired activity level to helping with suggested itineraries, John was there for us from beginning to end. He was very knowledgable and friendly, as well as a great story teller. They can be flexible, making last minute adjustments “on the fly” to fit your needs. We did hikes on two different days and John made sure we saw a variety of terrains and scenery. We climbed Lembert Dome on day one, then hiked to spectacular Taft Point followed by a visit to Glacier Point the next day. It was on absolute pleasure spending our days with him and seeing some of the natural splendors of Yosemite National Park.

Thank you so much for this recommendation. It was our pleasure to work with you from the planning stages to the tour. We are so happy you wished to see more of Yosemite by visiting some of the less traveled sites, and we are really happy it turned into a memorable experience.

We really enjoyed the experience as with John and Ana we were able to hike a trail which otherwise we would have never tried: it was just us and nature, with them we felt safe as for a possible encounter with some animals, and also we were able to get till the top and back as they knew perfectly the trail (which is not well spotted)

Quality time with my son and 4 grandkids enjoying the raw beauty of Yosemite.. a challenging but rewarding hike for a 70 year old. It’s one of 5 trips planned with my g-kids to help them appreciate our national p as red and our responsibility to continue to take care of these treasures in their future
