I made a rather last-minute decision to give hiking a try over the weekend and I don't regret it one bit. Kimball took great care of the group, was super informative, and made sure everyone had a great experience. It being my first day hike I wasn't sure how well I would do, but I'm absolutely hooked and can't wait to go again. The route itself is just incredible. My favorite part was seeing the path we took from the outset of the trail while enjoying lunch at Glacier Point. It was an awesome feeling to see the waterfalls, which felt so big up close look so tiny from that distance. Just to see the amount of ground we covered in such a short period of time was an overwhelming experience. Kimball also shared a few additional tips and places to check out around Yosemite for the remainder of my stay, which did not disappoint. Can't wait to do this again and look forward to sharing my experience with friends and family!!
