YOSEMITE HIGH COUNTRY BASECAMP HIKING OVERVIEW

A fantastic long weekend of fully-catered wilderness camping and hiking in the spectacular Yosemite High Country out of Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite's high country base. After hiking in with a lightweight day pack to a remote wilderness base camp that is all set up for you and fully catered, the days are spent experiencing the finest wilderness hikes to be found in the Tuolumne Meadows area. Evenings are spent in a comfortable fully catered base camp 4-6 miles in the wilderness out of Tuolumne Meadows. We provide roomy tents with lighting, wash stations and comfortable camp bedding for your comfort. 

Your local hiking guide and naturalist will lead you on day hikes to popular sights as well as out of the way "secret" spots not frequented by many. Examples of what you will explore, depending on exact location, are high mountain lakes, beautiful alpine meadows, waterfalls and grand vistas while learning about the natural history of Yosemite. The Yosemite High Country out of Tuolumne Meadows, at over 8000 feet, is out of the heat and crowds of Yosemite Valley and is the prime area for hiking in Yosemite National Park in the middle of the summer.
 
Food, Equipment & Lodging

We provide breakfast lunch, dinner and snacks prepared by your guide/camp chef from the time we meet till we part ways. We like to call our food "outdoor gourmet" which includes fresh vegetables as well as freshly baked specialties. Wake up to freshly baked cinnamon rolls, enjoy homemade pizza for dinner….we have the skills and all the equipment to provide fantastic food right at camp!

Our base camp for this trip is a wilderness campsite in the Yosemite High Country and we have camp all set up for you upon arrival by our porters that carry all your gear in. To make your trip easier for you we provide most of the gear you will need at no extra cost. We provide high quality backpacks, sleeping bags and pad, trekking poles, headlamp and eating utensils if needed. We also provide roomy tents, all group cooking gear, first aid kit and water purification for the group. Our guides carry emergency two-way satellite communications devices at all times.

A great way to see the Yosemite high country in style.
