Must do hike! - Maggie and Alex were great guides, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Their cooking and recipe choices were varied and tasty. I utilized all Lasting Adventures’ equipment which was nearly new and top notch. The Glacier Point to Half Dome was a trip I won’t forget!

Solid hiking and Half Dome Summit - A strenuous but rewarding adventure, topped off by summitting Half Dome. We had a great group and a great guide (Isaac - what a cook!). The communication was great and we would definitely use Lasting Adventures again.

The Dome and Isaac were awesome. - Great trip, got to summit Half Dome. Scenery was amazing. Isaac was my guide and was great. He was very knowledgeable about the sites in Yosemite and prepared the best meals I’ve ever eaten in the backcountry; stir fry, scrambled eggs and bacon, smoked sausage and ravioli, and an awesome deep fried dessert on our last night out. Thanks Cecil

Epic Half Dome Adventure - Dyson and John, our guides with Lasting Adventures were top notch. We did a 4 Day backpacking trip from Glacier Point to Half Dome. The experience, knowledge, skills, and motivation they portrayed during our trip, made us have an epic adventure. Fortunately, we were all (ages 54-64) able to summit Half Dome, which was a bucket list for all of us. Oh and their cooking was DELICIOUS. I never thought I would be eating tofu curry in the middle of the woods in Yosemite. I would highly recommend a guided tour with Lasting Adventures. It truly was a magnificent trip!

Awesome Half Dome Adventure - The entire experience was first class and outstanding! Our guides were Ella and Dyson - two remarkably professional, capable and knowledgeable guides. Not to mention just quality human beings. They live and shared the “leave no trace” philosophy. They shared their experience, park history and were supportive to all in our wide range of hikers. Not to mention their incredible back country cooking and meal prep skills. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks were tasty and plentiful. Summiting Half Dome and watching the sunset from the top was a special treat - as were the homemade donuts in the backcountry! Lasting Adventures provides quality gear for anything you don’t bring. I highly recommend this adventure with Lasting Adventures - be sure and ask for Ella and Dyson.

Trip of a Lifetime. - This trip was amazing. Dyson and Zach made sure we were safe and had the best trip ever. They made fantastic meals as well. They worked with me being slower and helped me to finish the trip feeling accomplished. I highly recommend this trip. The correspondence with Scott prior to the trip was also great. He was very responsive.

GET THE TRAVEL INSURANCE! - I was so excited for this trip, have been backpacking for years and ready to take on Half Dome (bucket list trip). They tell you in every correspondence to get travel insurance, DO IT! I didn't, ended up with a bulging disc the week before and couldn't go on the trip due to the 50lb backpack weight requirement. My friends had the best time and loved it. I lost $1800. GET INSURANCE!!!!!!!
