I've hiked Yosemite my whole life, but the one thing I hadn't experienced was the Yosemite Valley fire falls which occurs every year, if the conditions are just right. I never knew the best place to view them from so didn't try in previous years. We scheduled time with Gabe from Wild Yosemite and he took us to a spot to view the falls from that is kind of a secret spot where only a few serious photographers were located. My wife and I watched the fire falls and sipped wine from about 700 feet above the valley floor. It was amazing. Gabe at Wild Yosemite scouts out the best hikes, best viewing locations that only come with constant exploring of Yosemite. Gabe's knowledge of Yosemite, and his warm and caring personality make him stand out among guides.

Seeing the Yosemite Firefalls has been on my bucket list for years and Wild Yosemite made it happen! Gabe scouted out the perfect uncrowded spot with a perfect view of the firefalls and timed the trip so we got there with time to spare for the show. He is super easy to talk to and made everyone in our group comfortable and he even offered to carry my bag to make the hike to the viewing area easier. Gabe got information before the trip on our fitness levels and interests to customize it just for us. I would definitly do a trip with Wild Yosimite and Gabe again. Fabulous trip!!

Our trip to Yosemite with our family was spectacular! Gabriel, from Wild Yosemite, was very knowledgeable about the history of the park and where to go (and where NOT to go). My favorite hike was the Mist Trail. Gabriel was great with our kids, showed a lot of patience with them and helped them to get a better perspective on the outdoors and the beauty of Yosemite. Gabriel really listened to us and crafted a trip that EXCEEDED our expectations! It was wonderful! If you are looking for a fun, informative and transformational experience: call Gabriel!
