Description
Recognized by National Geographic Adventure Magazine as one of the 25 best trips in the USA, this horse-supported trek is one not to miss! We hike 50 miles through the heart of Yosemite National Park and explore both the remote, off-the-beaten-path regions and iconic landmarks of the Park. We enter Yosemite via 11,000′ Isberg Pass; summit Clouds Rest, one of the Park’s most famous peaks; hike a gorgeous section of the famous John Muir Trail; and enjoy many amazing campsites, one of them near an alpine lake beneath the jagged Cathedral Peak. With the help of the pack animals, we’re able to wow guests with even better food (than on backpacking trips), provide comfy camp amenities, and allow guests to hike with light day packs!
This trip is operated in partnership with Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides: a permitted outfitter on the Sierra and Inyo National Forests, and Yosemite National Park.
