ABOUT US
HISTORY
In 2004, our founder took his first trip to Yosemite National Park and it was love at first sight. Although he only spent two hours, he couldn't wait to come back to the unspoiled and awe inspiring sights. After hiking most of the trails, his friends asked for guidance, and soon word of mouth spread that there was a new Yosemite Trial Guide that had a most unique perspective. By 2008, he was taking people on 14 hikes a month, and he needed help.
He hired his first trail guide for the 2009 season, and then added six more guides, three additional support teams and two amazing camp chefs. As more people requested for "Glamping" we decided to include fabulous additions to our campsites. Now, it's ten year later, we are still providing our customers with the highest quality tours in Yosemite.

We will always strive to make the most memorable adventure for our customers. We pride ourselves in our professionalism and warm, friendly environment.

We are here to help our guests, and we are available to answer any questions you may have regarding food, lodging and weather. We'll even tell you how to pack!
LIFE IN THE VALLEY
Yosemite Valley has other amenities, such as a Post Office, Fire Station, a supermarket and a multi denominational church. Life in the Valley is quite contained, but offers comforts of a small town.
AN EYE ON THE WEATHER
Weather changes very suddenly at Yosemite National park, and we always prepare for the worst. We monitor the National Weather Service, NOAA and local park meteorologists to keep an eye on the weather.
