Terrific experience hiking Lembert Dome and Dog Lake with our guide Jay. He was experienced, friendly, helpful and informative. We enjoyed learning about the park and its history, and appreciated Jay's tips for where to stop on our drive to the hotel and things to see/do the next day. Catherine made thoughtful recommendations on the itinerary and provided exact directions to the meeting point. This was a perfect day in Yosemite!

Wow wow wow. Better than we hoped. Super fantastic guide. So knowledgeable and relaxed at the same time. Learned so much while enjoying out last day in Yosemite. Kids loved him too. John D was a star guide.

There are so many AMAZING things I can say about this experience! My husband and I got into the Yosemite area the evening of 07/30 and left a message for YExplore. Catherine called us back shortly after and got us set up on a hike with Jay Sousa for the next morning. Jay was absolutely wonderful! He is a Cali native and use to be a climber in Yosemite. Not only was he an amazing guide, but he was full of facts and history about the area. We spent about 5 hours with Jay doing one of the most popular hikes that gave us spectacular views of El Cap and Half Dome. The scenery was amazing and not difficult at all to navigate. We had the remainder of the day to explore the park on our own. Jay gave us his top "to see" sites and he nailed it on the head! If you are even considering a guided hike in Yosemite, contact YExplore for sure!
