Wonderful tour! - We couldn’t have asked for a better way to reconnect than on our guided hike through Tuolumne Meadows. As college friends reuniting after years apart, we wanted something special to commemorate our time together, and this experience exceeded all our expectations. Our guide Miranda was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating stories about the history, geology, and unique flora of the meadows. What a stunning park!

So perfect!! - Grateful for a perfect day out with our guide Megan, who is a wildlife biologist. I’m still savoring the memories of the alpine lakes and trees blowing in the wind.

Perfect! - Our time with guide Gabriel was truly exceptional. His passion for exploring Yosemite, coupled with his extensive knowledge, made for an unforgettable experience. Gabriel's recent backpacking trip along the High Sierra Route inspired our kids, and we're already planning our next adventure with him—a multi-day backpacking excursion!

Pohono Trail magic - Amazing day out with our guide Noah from Wild Yosemite. Tioga Road was not open yet so we opted to hike the Pohono Trail up to Stanford Point. Such a stunning location! Noah was very personable and knowledgeable about Yosemite's history, flora and fauna. Looking forward to another adventure with Noah in the near future!

Cathedral Lakes private tour - I took a guided tour last October (‘23) thru Wild Yosemite (shoutout to our guide Gabriel!) to the cathedral lakes area and had an amazing adventure. I’m not what you would call heavily experienced, but with the help of our guide we made it around without any issues and were able to get to lots of great viewpoints through the day. Hiking up Cathedral peak was the grand finale, and while it wasn’t easy the view alone at the top made it worthwhile. Definitely recommend the experience to anyone trying to get out and see the area!

Great personal guide for Yosemite! - I had a great time with Gabriel in Yosemite Valley! He clearly has a wealth of knowledge of the area, and showed me tons of things that I would have otherwise totally missed! It was great having a local guide to show me around. It was very busy in Yosemite that weekend, but Gabe knew some great spots to go. I'm no photographer, but Gabe apparently is. My iPhone photos look like postcards, no joke. Thanks Gabe!!

Great hike to Cathedral Lakes - We had a great guided hike to Cathedral Lakes! Our guide Gabriel led us thru stunning alpine forests and wildflower meadows up to the lakes basin. Hiking up Cathedral Peak was the cherry on top! It was a challenging day for our group, but the views made it worth it. 10 out of 10 recommend!
