Women’s 5 Day Yosemite Backpacking Adventure with Cheebs!

Leave the crowds behind in the most-visited national park in the U.S. See Yosemite the way it used to be.

Backpacking in Yosemite means trading pavement for granite slabs, cell service for rivers and ridgelines, and crowds for quiet nights under the stars. With a backpack on and a few days of disconnect ahead of you, the park opens up in a whole new way—raw, remote, and unforgettable.

Our guided backpacking trips are designed to help you access Yosemite’s backcountry without worrying about logistics, permits, or getting lost. We provide the gear, food, and professional guidance—you show up ready to hike, learn, and soak it all in.

What You’ll Learn and Experience

Backcountry Travel Skills

Our guides teach fundamental backpacking techniques along the way—how to pack efficiently, treat water, travel safely, and manage a campsite. Whether you’re a beginner or brushing up for future solo trips, you’ll walk away more confident in your outdoor skills.

Natural History and Park Insight

Each day on trail is a deep dive into Yosemite’s geology, ecosystems, and history. Learn how glaciers carved the valleys, how the Tuolumne River shaped its canyon, and why this landscape continues to draw people from around the world.

Scenic Immersion

Backpacking lets you see the side of Yosemite that day hikers never reach. From high ridgelines to deep river valleys, you’ll camp in spots most visitors will never know exist—and wake up to granite walls and quiet forest all around you.

Glacier Point Circuit

This 5-day loop starts and ends at Glacier Point, one of the most iconic overlooks in the park. After meeting at the trailhead, we descend into the Illilouette Basin—a quieter corner of the park with open granite terrain, alpine meadows, and creekside campsites.

We’ll explore remote parts of the southern rim and gradually climb back toward Glacier Point, finishing with sweeping views of Half Dome and the valley floor. Expect moderate daily mileage (5–8 miles), manageable elevation changes, and stunning camps in hard-to-reach places.

Great for backpackers who want a true Yosemite experience without committing to a one-way itinerary or steep, technical terrain.
