Hiking & Trekking in California - Yosemite National Park

One of the stark realities of Yosemite is its vastness and, apart from the well-documented level of activity in the valley, so much of the park is astoundingly remote, if not impenetrable. Of the park's approximate 750,000 acres, or 1,200 square miles, over 90 percent of its area is protected wilderness. The vast majority of the park's visitors never venture more than 1/2 mile from their vehicles. Five minutes removed from the trailhead parking lot and we well may not see another person on the trail until our return at day's end.

We'll explore the wonders of Yosemite, its giant sequoias, dramatic waterfalls, deep glacier-carved canyons, snowclad Sierra peaks and magnificent domes. As is the case with so many of our programs where the hiking opportunities are essentially without limits, we'll always struggle with the decisions as to which hikes to select for a 6-day program. Our goal has been to include those trails that are reasonably athletic, non-technical day hikes, and that best reflect the variety and scenic fascination that is Yosemite.
