 Backpacking Yosemite for Beginners If you enjoy hiking around in the outdoors and would like to experience a true backpacking trip, pack it up, it’s time to get away! Yosemite national Park embraces almost 1,200 square miles of scenic wild lands in the central Sierra Nevada. We’ll meet in Yosemite Valley and then begin our trek in the high country through alpine wilderness, Giant Sequoia groves, impressive waterfalls, cliffs and unusual rock formations, completing our hike in the glacially carved Yosemite Valley. No matter what your level, this adventure through the wilderness will give you the confidence to hit the trails on your own. Your group will be lead by one of the world’s top multi-sport endurance athletes who will teach you basic backpacking skills and preparation, including gear specific to backpacking, map reading, environmental etiquette and safety. An informative pre-meeting will give you all the information you’ll need to prepare for this trip, plus you'll go on a local practice hike. You will receive a letter upon registration to help you get started. Equipment needed: 4000 cu. in. pack (or close to it), sleeping pad, sleeping bag, hiking shoes, headlamp and clothing (all gear options will be covered in class). *Download a gear list*
