The only guided backpacking service for Yosemite and the Sierra that picks you up at SFO, Oakland, or San Jose airports. All gear included. Permits secured. We handle every detail from touchdown to trailhead.
While our signature routes are proven, no two trips are identical. The final itinerary is always tuned for the time of year, current trail conditions, and your group’s specific interests. Before your trip, we’ll have a call to discuss pace and priorities. This ensures we can linger where it matters most to you, whether that’s spending an extra hour at a waterfall or ensuring a perfectly-timed sunset from a specific overlook. It’s our expertise, personalized for your group.
