This was my 5th backpacking experience, but my first guided experience. It was absolutely amazing! My guide was Jesse and he did a great job keeping a pace that worked for a group, cooked amazing food, and was very informative of all aspects of the park. In addition, when submitting Half Dome, he was helpful and supportive to get us up and down. He gave us the option to do a sunset or sunrise hike up to Half Dome and the group elected the sunset option. He cooked dinner at the top of Half Dome and we ate as we watched the sunset. It was amazing and we all absolutely loved it. I would recommend Lasting Adventures and our guide Jesse to anyone that is interested in hiking Half Dome.
