Experience Overview
Follow your feet on this six-day hiking trip that shows off the very best of Yosemite National Park.
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.
Highlights
- Enjoy an itinerary designed to show you the very best that Yosemite National Park has to offer, with an expert local leader doing all the navigating for you.
- The challenging hike to Nevada Falls rewards you with one of Yosemite's most spectacular waterfalls, where the Merced River plunges 594 feet in a powerful vertical drop that creates thunderous echoes throughout the granite canyon.
- Learn about the important work being done by Yosemite Conservancy, with an educational guided walk through the historic Ahwahnee village, where you’ll learn about Native American heritage and the park’s conservation efforts.
- Take on the challenge of the Four Mile Trail to Sentinel Dome – the views from Glacier Point over Yosemite Valley are some of the very best in the park.
- Get an introduction to Yosemite National Park with a walk through the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, passing beneath (and through!) the towering trees.

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.

Amazing time. Joseph was an incredible leader. Enjoyed having a small group of solo travelers. Will definitely book with Intrepid again.

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.

Kate was an absolute pleasure to travel with as our leader. Her excitement to show us her favourite locations, and passion for the park made this trip very special. Was a small group, which could have been a challenge, but it ended up being a good blend of personalities. Felt like she contributed to the vibe of the group while still taking the lead in an environment she felt very comfortable in. Made us all feel comfortable and share in her enthusiasm for Yosemite Park. Highly recommend...and the forced lack of access to wifi at the motel was a treat. A true escape for a week!

This was a superb trip. An excellent way to explore some of Yosemite. The round trip to San Francisco makes it so convenient. The hikes were really enjoyable, they’re well described in the itinerary so we knew what to expect. Our guide Mike most definitely enriched our experience. He is a fountain of knowledge and provided us with so many stories and historical information. He also made sure that we got the most out of each day. I am so thrilled that we chose this option rather than trying to navigate it ourselves. And we feel very lucky to have had Mike as our guide.

My wife and I’s 6 day trip to Yosemite was one of the best holiday’s I have had in 20 years. The landscape is spectacular, the hikes are great, and the tour was led expertly by our excellent guide Mike Harding. I absolutely recommend the trio.
08/17/2023
I had an absolutely wonderful time on this trip! Mike was a first-rate guide, smart, knowledgeable, accommodating, kind, interesting, well organized, fun. I was always the last one to finish the hikes and he was always super responsible and patient. The itinerary was great, we saw gorgeous places in Yosemite, the hikes were challenging but doable. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, got into better shape, felt much less stressed by the end. I totally recommend this trip!

We completed the Yosemite hiking adventure the last week of June 2023. Overall the trip was fabulous: well organized, full days every day, informative and congenial. Our guide Mike was great on all counts, couldn’t have asked for better. As a (reasonably fit, I thought) 70 year old, I would caution that the hikes were more strenuous than we expected. Of course, the 40 years old and younger ladies were all impressively fine. My only criticism was staying at the Cedar Lodge, which was just adequate. And there is spotty cell service in the park; no one’s fault, just be prepared. I would recommend this trip highly to younger hikers.

It was a bucket list experience to visit Yosemite, and this trip lived exceeded my expectations. We had a great group and a fantastic guide who made sure everyone got the most out of the trip.
07/03/2023
Another great trip with Intrepid. Our itinerary had to be adjusted a good bit due to the extreme snow fall amounts in the Sierra Nevadas over the winter and flooding from snow melt. But, our fun, very knowledgable, and enthusiastic guide, Jay, made sure he did all he possibly could to make up for any delays and changes.
06/28/2023
This trip provided a great opportunity to get more than just a cursory view of the park. The hiking was diverse and when the weather or park conditions did not cooperate the tour leader Jay was quick to provide excellent alternatives. The accommodation left a lot to be desired but I'm sure it is selected for the location and the tour leader mitigated that drawback as well. I would highly recommend this trip.

Yosemite breathtaking. Inaccurate pre trip information re accommodation. Cedar Lodge a motel not updated since the 80s. Food offer dire. No housekeeping service during stay. Unacceptable given price of trip
09/28/2022
The trip initineray was very well designed and all hikes were incredible. Yosemite is simply gorgeous! Hotel at Yosemite could be better though (it's not the same as shown in booking information). The team leader need to improve his professional enthusiasm and knowledge. The trip would be more pleasant if he could be more attentive and 'be there'.

If you are looking for an in-depth experience in Yosemite National Park, this is the trip for you. I got to see several different areas of the park and complete some challenging hikes. Phil was a knowledgeable and helpful guide who made all parts of the trip flow together seamlessly. Accommodation at the Cedar Lodge was comfortable and close to the park entrance. I highly recommend this trip!
07/26/2022
Yosemite Hiking trip was amazing! Stunning park, two great classic hikes, Mist Trail and Cathedral Lakes plus so much more! Guide Phil was excellent, professional, so knowledgable and great driver. Could not do all this on your own, definitely recommend this trip.

The trip was a blast! Our guide was really informative and fun to talk to! He made even the toughest parts of the hike fun.

We were a family of 4. The walks and scenery of Yosemite were beautiful. Our guide made it incredibly enjoyable and we can't wait to revisit the states in the near future!
