What Adventurers Are Saying
From first-timers to returning hikers — here’s what the trail is like.
★★★★★
I was blown away by my first trip to Yosemite. I’m so glad I took the route of a backpacking trip instead of the typical car camping. I felt like I got to explore a part of the park that most people will never see in their lifetime.
★★★★★
This was my first time backpacking and it was the BEST! Kyle took care of all of the logistics and I just showed up to enjoy. It was so beautiful everywhere we turned!
★★★★★
I grew up backpacking back on the East Coast but had never been to California and it had been a while since I did something this challenging. Kyle planned an awesome trek on a trail I never would have explored on my own. It was challenging but so rewarding!
