A grand crossing of the Sierra Nevada through Sequoia National Park, culminating in an ascent of Mt. Whitney from the west, coupled with dramatic hiking deep in the wilderness makes this backpacking trip one of our most spectacular adventures.

Astounding natural beauty surrounds us as we hike along cascading waterfalls in Yosemite National Park, mountain bike in the Sierra backcountry, learn to rock climb, whitewater raft down the tumbling Merced River or go horseback riding.

The Ansel Adams Wilderness is filled with high peaks, crystal clear alpine lakes, dense forests, glorious meadows, and amazing panoramas. We hike, while horses and mules carry our gear to camp on a scenic lake deep in the wilderness area.

The Sierra High Route is packed with expedition-style adventure! The trek is 195 miles and the terrain is mostly off trail. This means that there will be a lot of route finding and long physical days, but also a lot of reward.
