About this trip

What an Amazing Day!17 miles, ~4,745’ elevation gain round tripPrepare for an exhilarating adventure on the Half Dome hike, a challenging and immensely rewarding day-long excursion. Departing from Curry Village at the crack of dawn, we anticipate returning to the Valley around 6-7 pm, or potentially later. This hike is categorized as "extremely strenuous," encompassing over 16 miles of terrain with an ascent and descent of nearly 5,000 feet. The journey commences at Happy Isles, where you'll navigate a series of steep granite steps along the Mist Trail, offering striking views of Vernal and Nevada Fall. The pinnacle of the hike involves a steep cable system, requiring climbers to ascend the final 425 vertical feet using a secure 1/2-inch steel cable handrail.

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

Backpacking 101: Yosemite National Park - Porcupine Creek

Really great people, learned things, but I want to learn more. This experience was so great that I plan on signing up for another trip soon 

This was an awesome trip!  Our guide, Sarah, was great and we could ask her anything.  Wonderful group of women, all beginners. Beautiful setting.   This trip took the intimidation out of backpqcking and i now feel like i couls join others backpacking more comfortably. 

I had an amazing time hiking through Yosemite—our guide, Sarah, was an excellent resource and just fun to be around! 10/10 recommend this trip and organization for anyone looking to experience Yosemite via backpacking!

Yosemite Backpacking: Half Dome & Clouds Rest

I had an amazing time meeting like minded women!  The hikes were challenging and it was great having an experienced guide with us !  I loved having the camp set up with very comfortable cots, great meals, s’mores around the camp fire and great comraderie with the other guests and the camp mom and guide!  Highly recommend this fun filled adventure 

Camping: Yosemite National Park - Base Camp

We had amazing experience! Yosemite is truly magical and reaching the summit of half dome was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our guide Nikki brought exceptional expertise and a wealth of knowledge. She was professional yet authentic. There were a few bumps in the road but nothing we didn’t get past. Definitely do the trip. 

Yosemite Backpacking: Half Dome From Yosemite Valley

The Wilderness Fist Aid instructor was very knowledgeable and engaging. 

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) 6/1/25

Great trip!  I really enjoyed spending time with our guide, Sarah, she kept us laughing the whole way.  I’m feeling more confident about backpacking and already planning the next trip!  Everything was done professionally and clearly, from the sign up to the post trip debrief.  I would definitely recommend Alpinistas to other women who are wanting to dive into backpacking.

Backpacking 101: Hetch Hetchy to Rancheria Falls

My husband and I took the class together. We like the combination of online and in-person training. Ian did a great job during the in-person session. We are primarily day hikers, but we are frequently hours away from medical care during our hikes. We both feel more confident in our ability to handle emergency situations while in the wilderness. Thanks!

Sarah was great.  I learned so much from her and she was super patient with me given how slow and inexperienced I am :)  Planning to book more trips soon!

I had a wonderful experience with my first backpacking trip. My guide Sarah was very knowledgeable and I feel super prepared for future trips now! 


Private Backpacking: Beehive Meadows to Rancheria Falls

Dani was an amazing guide! She was friendly, personable, and was sooo knowledgeable about the backcountry. She also taught in a way that was easy to understand for people that are just getting into the backcountry. The day was also paced well - we had time to learn each topic without it being boring! I also love the intimate setting of the group so that you can get to know the others, ask any questions you need, and make friends as well. I learned a lot and cant wait to continue my avy ed with Alpinistas!
