Itinerary
Embark on a hiking adventure to remember in California’s High Sierra
Follow your feet on this six-day hiking trip that shows off the very best of Yosemite National Park. Giant sequoia trees, the massive Half Dome rock, stunning views from the top of Sentinel Dome and thunderous waterfalls of the appropriately named Mist Trail – this adventure covers a lot of ground in a short time. Best of all, you get to experience Yosemite with a bit of comfort, thanks to transportation to and from the trailheads and accommodation close to the park’s entrance. But this trip is more than just pretty sights – you’ll also learn about the area’s Native American heritage and pioneer past, and about the important work being done to preserve and protect the region.

My Hiking in Yosemite trip was so good. Our group leader, Regan, was amazing, she explained with clarity, had in-depth knowledge of everywhere we visited and had a friendly and approachable personality. The accommodation gave us a good place to rest after long day hikes (the View Lodge) the hikes themselves were incredible, and even though they were fairly long and challenging, our group leader didn’t make us feel pressured to have to go at a certain pace, I was one of the slower, first time hikers and I wasn’t made to feel like I had to be beyond my capability. The leader and other members of the group were all incredibly accommodating, we all talked and laughed regularly and became very comfortable with one another. We also got a free afternoon which we all appreciated, where we could explore the park for 6 hours doing whatever we liked.
I would highly recommend to anyone, and I will definitely look to Intrepid as my first option when wanting to travel anywhere again.

Really enjoyed the trip - Lana our guide was fantastic, and we saw a lot of the park with a busy (but manageable) itinerary. Our group (reasonably fit people from their 20s to their 70s) were able to go at our own speeds, so we were all able to enjoy the hikes.

I’d definitely recommend this Yosemite hiking trip as it gives you time to properly explore the park and see all that it has to offer. The hikes weren’t too challenging which made for nice days out. We were busy from early in the morning until the evening so we definitely got our moneys worth. Our guide was excellent and made the experience very enjoyable.

I highly recommend this trip if you want to visit Yosemite and hike in a group. This trip includes the meadow, high country, and the Mist Trail (just to name a few highlights). We went in October when the trails weren’t as crowded compared to the summer and saw some fall foliage. Lana was a great guide. She brought tons of knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm to the group. I’m glad I did this trip.

This was an unforgettable trip - Yosemite was amazing, but it was our tour guide who brought the place to life and made each and every day so much fun.

This was my first small group trip. Low cost and well organized. I was there to see a National Park, not a 5 star hotel. Get in shape for this trip, lots of hiking.
