My Son and I have booked with Lasting Adventure 3 years in a row. Backpacking with LA is always like going on an adventure with friends without having to deal with all the logistics of the trip. The guides are very professional, friendly and fun and how could I forget Great Chef. Our recent trip we had a female guide Jenna! she was amazing, entertaining, knowledgeable, adaptable to challenges. The trip may be long and difficult at times but the Awesome experience of seeing The High Sierra and backcountry of Yosemite I realize I could never get enough. Again this incredible experience Jenna topped off with pancakes on the Top of Half Dome at Sunrise. I will pass on everything being AWESOME....Cant wait till next year.
