Great trip. Sarah was a great guide: a font of knowledge, she explained what the trip would entail, kept a nice pace, took adequate breaks, and always let us know what was coming next (bathroom breaks, water, sub-Dome, how to manage the cables on Half Dome, etc. Also, very funny, kept us laughing. My son and I were very happy with this experience and would highly recommend this trip.

This trip was great, and it was great to get to do with Sarah again as the guide. Already considering my next trip :)

I had a great time hiking and getting to know other women in the group. Our guide was great, friendly, supportive, and funny. She managed to get the last atom of energy from us on the hikes! Now, when it comes to food, it was abysmal (unfortunately)... On the last evening in the camp, we were served severely undercooked noodles (we all agreed that the noodles were not cooked) with Prego sauce from a jar. Apparently, we were the only group that ever asked to go out to any of the restaurants to have some food.

Great trail and beautiful scenery. Prep was a bit lacking compared to other trips I have done (no gear check before leaving and unfortunately guide didn’t pack enough food). Happily good company was ample.

This was a great introduction to backpacking that prepared and inspired me to do trips on my own!
