For those of you who’d like to throw on a backpack and leave civilization behind, this is your chance. Come see some beautiful backcountry, incredible rock formations, vigorous waterfalls and spirited wildlife.

We’ll spend our first night camping in the main valley and begin your incredible journey in the morning. We’ll wind our way up the John Muir Trail towards Little Yosemite Valley, passing magnificent Vernal and Nevada Falls along the way. Saturday is designed as a layover day to do with as you please. You may day hike or relax around camp. Sunday morning we’re up early and back on the trail, heading towards the van and heading home. Spring in the backcountry is lovely but it can be cold, wet and snowy if storms come in. Therefore, you will need good boots, warm clothes (not cottons), a warm sleeping bag (25° or below), and a tent. Having an enjoyable time is closely related to how well you are equipped. Remember, the main goal is to have a good time.

The fee includes round trip transportation, breakfasts and dinners while camping, camping fees, park entrance fees, permit fees and group cooking equipment. You must supply your own lunches and personal equipment. This trip requires that you be in good physical condition. Aside from carrying your own personal equipment, each person will be responsible for carrying some group food and group equipment
