Stories: Backpacking

In Denali, crossing trackless tundra under the midnight sun made me feel more present than I had in years. In Yosemite, a quiet night by a creek under granite walls will remind you how little we need to feel alive.

We designed our 5-Day Yosemite Backpacking Adventure to offer a full-value loop through one of the most scenic and quieter parts of Yosemite National Park.

While the crowds gather at Glacier Point and Yosemite Falls, we’re dropping into something much deeper—literally and figuratively. The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne doesn’t get the hype it deserves, and we’re okay with that. It keeps things quieter out there.

You don’t need to be a seasoned backpacker to get deep into Yosemite’s backcountry. You just need the right plan—and a solid guide.
