Yosemite
Half Dome Summit

For those seeking a challenge, hike the 17-mile roundtrip to the summit of Half Dome. If you want a shorter hike, there's a 7-miler to Little Yosemite Valley.

We'll climb Half Dome in one day from Yosemite Valley—17 miles round-trip. Climbing Half Dome is a challenge, but with the support and encouragement of our experienced trip leaders it's not only doable, but fun for aerobically fit hikers.

The 4800' climb from the Valley to the top of 8842' Half Dome will give your spirits a boost for weeks to come. What a feeling of accomplishment when you stand on the summit looking out on Yosemite Valley and the far reaches of the high Sierra!

For those who want to feel the mist of waterfalls on your face and embrace Yosemite with a shorter hike, we will offer a 7-mile hike to Little Yosemite Valley, past waterfalls, the Mist Trail and along the John Muir Trail. We'll be back at camp in plenty of time to relax and enjoy a delicious dinner.
