Hi guys! Join Diego and Agustin on the greatest fall weekend ever in Yosemite where we will complete some chill and some semi-challenging hikes all while looking over the gorgeous terrain that is Yosemite.
First we will drive up to Yosemite Valley and take our time walking around/ exploring the valley, after we will check into our HEATED canvas tents with restrooms and housekeeping. This is going to be the epitome of glamping. The next day we will tackle the hike to Upper Yosemite Falls. This hike will take you up the tallest waterfall in North America and the views will be legendary. To match these legendary views we will also be visiting Glacier Point, one of the most popular spots in Yosemite, boasting incredible views of the Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite's high country. Here we will also be exploring Taft Point and the Fissures. But wait, there’s more! To really explore the valley we will be embarking on the Tenaya Creek and Mirror Lake Loop and take some more epic pictures. Looking to cross another national park off your bucket list or simply looking to get away for the weekend? We will provide everything just bring yourself and the stoke. We will be staying in some pretty cool cabins so get excited!
