Weather

Summer in Yosemite is generally quite mild during the day and can still get quite cold in the evenings. Daytime temperatures in June usually peak around the low to mid 80s (depending on elevation) with nighttime lows dropping as low as the mid 50s to upper 40s at higher elevations. Rain is not uncommon though most days are sunny or overcast. Snow on trails may stick around in higher elevations so muddy conditions are likely on some hiking days.

Group 

Good Trippers can be any age but most of our travelers are in their 30s – 50s.

We get families, couples and friends, but most of our travelers come solo! We have hiking tours for all abilities, just make sure to review the Intensity section for information about what to expect on your trip.

All public trips are 18+. If you’re traveling with kids, we’d be happy to make any itinerary private! Email info@goodtripadventures.com.

Intensity – Moderate

Hiking days will usually include about 6 total hours on the trail, covering anywhere from 6-10 miles on the day. This trip includes three days of back-to-back hiking, so it’s best for travelers who are comfortable being active for most of the day, multiple days in a row. Hiking experience is not required, but training with long walks before your trip will help to prepare.

Accommodations

• Four nights in a large, heated safari tent in Curry Village
• Price is based on triple occupancy accommodations
• Single supplement is available for an additional $850 per person and subject to availability

Accomodations for five day Yosemite Guided Trip

Day 1

Welcome to Fresno, CA! Meet your guide by mid-afternoon for transfer to Yosemite National Park. We’ll stop along the way for stretch breaks and snacks before arriving at our home in Curry Village, nestled under the shadow of the magnificent Half Dome. We’ll have a tasty camp-cooked dinner before retiring to bed for the morning’s adventures.

Meals: D

Day 2

Head out on the trails of Yosemite for a full day of hiking in the valley. The plan will include several short, mild hikes along the valley floor with stops to see points of interest, such as Bridalveil Falls, El Capitan, Half Dome, and Mirror Lake. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating information about the wildlife and human history of the area, and give you an opportunity to immerse yourself in the park’s rich history!

Meals: B, L, D

Day 3

This morning, we’ll set out early and head to the Yosemite High Country – Tuolumne Meadows. This area of the park tends to be much less crowded than the valley floor, and we’ll take advantage of the serenity with a full day hike. Over the course of our 6-8 hours on the trail, we’ll see serene alpine lakes and travel over stunning high mountain passes. In the evening, we’ll treat ourselves to another delicious camp dinner as we prepare for our last day of hiking tomorrow.
