Höjdpunkter

Kick off your Yosemite backpacking experience with one of the most iconic sections of the John Muir Trail, weaving between majestic alpine lakes to the summits of Clouds Rest and Half Dome! Camp the first night at Cathedral Lakes amid the spirit of the true high country, then hike the JMT up and over Cathedral Pass with stunning views of alpine peaks along the way. Set up camp in the Sunrise Lakes area for Night 3, and from there, tackle the Clouds Rest summit (9,926’) for one of the most spectacular views of Yosemite Valley in the park! Your adventure culminates with the summit of Half Dome (8,836’) before returning to Yosemite Valley on the Mist Trail passing two spectacular waterfalls. This trip’s strenuous itinerary is well worth it! If you’re looking for an authentic Yosemite experience, this is the adventure for you!

  • 5Perfect experience!

    We just returned from Lasting Adventures amazing multi-day backpacking trip from Cathedral Lakes to Clouds Rest. Maggie, our guide, was calm, kind, and incredibly competent—exactly the kind of person you want to follow into the backcountry. Maggie had this quiet way of encouraging us without ever making us feel pressured. And even though we were probably half the speed of most hikers on the trail, Maggie never made us feel anything but strong and capable. Maggie provided everything we needed, from biodegradable glitter to delicious meals (seriously, the food was outstanding!). Along the way, she patiently taught us how to pack our packs more efficiently and set up our tent like pros. Honestly, Maggie is such an extraordinary human being that we have joked about writing a thank-you note to her parents for raising someone so thoughtful, grounded, and skilled. If you’re considering a trip with Lasting Adventures, go! We were taken care of from start to finish.

  • 5Great trip with Lasting Adventures

    Jack Curran & Eli Flaim were terrific guides who really made our 4 day backcountry hike an unforgettable experience! Their guiding expertise, explanations of the flora and fauna and understanding of the geology really added to our experience. The food they prepared in camp was amazing, including fresh donuts! Our next trip to Yosemite will definitely include Lasting Adventures!

  • 5What a Hike to remember. Thank you Maddie and John!!

    This was a hike to always remember. Maddie and John were the best guides. Our group was the perfect amount of people. This is the best way to connect with new people. Their knowledge of the park was impressive along with the great meals we had along our adventure. I have already made some things at home that we had on the trail. Real food!! They have a secret snack that you would have to join the hike to enjoy! It was Very Good. This hike was the perfect level of difficulty and through the most beautiful areas you could imagine. Clouds rest was Aw inspiring and Half Dome was very gratifying to summit. The pictures are amazing. I would recommend Lasting Adventures to anyone looking for an off grid hike in an amazing park!

  • 5Epic Backpack Trip

    We did the Cathedral Lakes/Clouds Rest/Half Dome trip, 5day/4night. It’s hard to find the words to describe the experience. Our guide was great and really knew his stuff. He supported us with all our needs including food and stress. The views from our travels were spectacular and breathtaking. His timing of our trek up Half Dome gave us an uncrowded and special experience. Dinner atop Half Dome was perfect. I would highly recommend Lasting Adventures especially for novice backpackers.

  • 5Best Hike Ever.

    I had a fantastic experience on the 5 day Cathedral lakes to clouds rest and half dome trip. Alongside the kit list, lasting adventures emailed us about a change in the weather so I felt well prepared on what to pack. Our guide, Caber, was brilliant. He was knowledgeable about the area, good company, paced us well, made amazing food, and gave me the moral support I needed to get up Half Dome. Yosemite is one of the most beautiful places I have every been and I would highly recommend this hike with Lasting Adventures.

About Yosemite National Park

Yosemite is a national park in California's Sierra Nevada, famous for granite cliffs, giant sequoias, high waterfalls and meadows below the peaks.

Yosemite National Park covers a wide stretch of the Sierra Nevada in California, with Yosemite Valley, carved by glaciers, at its heart. Sheer granite walls rise on either side of the Merced River: El Capitan, a favourite of rock climbers, and Half Dome, a rounded summit, tower above the valley floor. Yosemite Falls drops in several stages for a total of about 740 metres, among the tallest waterfalls in North America.

Top-ranked sights in Yosemite National Park: Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, Tunnel View.
