Hit the trail with a group of like-minded adventurers to explore the scenic wonders of Yosemite National Park on this fun-filled 3-day hiking trip designed especially for travelers aged 18–35 (but anyone over 18 can join!).

A hiker’s dream destination, Yosemite National Park contains some of the most beautiful and dramatic mountain landscapes in the American West. Its majestic redwood groves, soaring peaks and enormous glacier-carved valleys blend together to form an awe-inspiring wilderness playground. On this memorable backcountry adventure, we hike along some of the park’s most spectacular trails in the shadows of giant sequoias and alongside roaring waterfalls hundreds of feet tall. We also climb high to take in panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and its iconic granite formations, including El Capitan, Half Dome and Cathedral Rocks. While the days are action-packed, the evenings are the epitome of relaxation as we return to our valley campsite and enjoy the camaraderie of our fellow adventurers, and the delicious meals prepared by our exceptional guides. A perfect long-weekend getaway to escape from the routines of daily life and forge new friendships with those who share your passion for outdoor exploration.
