Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join this backpacking trip?

A: There isn't a strict age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 10 years old for this trip. It’s moderately strenuous, so kids should be able to handle a day hike of around 4 miles if they want to summit Mount Hoffman. Also, it's a family-friendly environment, so everyone will have a great time! Just make sure they’re up for some camping and the outdoors.

Q: What should I wear for the Yosemite backpacking trip in June?

A: You'll want to dress in layers! Mornings can be chilly, but it heats up during the day. Think moisture-wicking shirts, lightweight pants, and a good jacket. Don't forget sturdy hiking boots and a hat for sun protection! Also, consider bringing a swimsuit if you want to enjoy a swim at May Lake.

Q: What if the weather is bad during the trip? Do they offer rescheduling?

A: Yes, they have a flexible rescheduling policy in case of bad weather! Safety is the priority, so if conditions are unsafe, they'll work with you to find a new date that fits. Just keep an eye on the forecast as the trip gets closer!

Just got back from the Yosemite backpacking trip—wow!

I just finished the 5-Day Yosemite Backpacking adventure, and it was life-changing! Seriously, the views from Mount Hoffman are worth every step. The guides were super helpful and friendly. We camped by May Lake and had the best time swimming and relaxing. Highly recommend this for anyone who loves nature! Can't wait to go back!
