See Yosemite from above!! Hike the famous Half Dome!

Join us this summer and explore Yosemite National Park from a different angle: looking down! Experience why this place has inspired so many people.

Our first day we will take it easy touring the valley floor and looking up at the granite monolith, Half Dome, on top of which we wll be celebrating the following day. We will also, take in the sheer rock walls of El Capitan overlooking the Merced River running down the middle, the Visitor's Center and the waterfalls.

After a good night's rest and a hearty breakfast we will begin our trek. The Half Dome ascent will take the majority of the day on Saturday and it is well worth it. It's a 17 mile roundtrip journey. This is hike of a lifetime. You will rise above the valley floor as you climb 4800 feet. Imagine the views you will photograph of this world famous park from that height and the tale you will have to tell your friends. As you reach the 13 acres at the top, rubbing your eyes in disbelief at the incredible views, you might shed a tear of joy at the feat you and your new friends have just accomplished.

Not all of the hikes during this trip will be of this caliber. We will offer other hikes that will be moderately challenging, with some fabulous views of the valley and of Half Dome, El Capitan towering over the Visitor Center, Ansel Adams Museum, and the Merced River. This is a trip not to miss and an accomplishment you will remember forever.
