3 Day |2 Night: Yosemite Valley's Southern Rim

**Enjoy a 2 night and 3 day​ adventure exploring the southern rim of Yosemite Valley with iconic views from the famed Mist Trail, Glacier Point, Sentinel Dome, Taft Point, and Dewey Point. The first day is spent in near solitude as we explore the incredible wooded trails and wildflower meadows of Yosemite's backcountry. The last two days are spent enjoying the iconic, birds-eye views of Yosemite Valley!

Itinerary

Day 1 | 8.5 Miles | Moderate Elevation Gain Meet your guide after breakfast around 8 AM at a convenient prearranged meet up location to pack gear and talk safety. We’ll immediately​ drive into Yosemite National Park to begin our backcountry adventure at the secluded trailhead to Deer Camp. We'll enjoy a relaxed hike through one of Yosemite most secluded wooden regions before camping near Bridalveil Creek. There we’ll enjoy a well deserved camp cookout before falling asleep under the starry Sierra sky.

Day 2 | 3.5 Miles | Moderate Elevation Gain and Loss
After coffee and breakfast, our second day is spent heading up and down in elevation, a handful of meadow and stream crossings before setting up camp early at Bridalveil Creek. From here, we'll enjoy up to 7 miles of day hikes up to Sentinel Dome and Taft Point to see geology in motion and experience the best views Yosemite has to offer! We’ll head back to camp and revel in experiencing these famous sites without the crowds as we enjoy another camp cookout!

Day 3 | 7.5 Miles | Moderate Elevation Loss
We'll wake with the sun and enjoy coffee and a hearty mountain breakfast before another incredible day filled with long breaks at Dewey, Crocker, and Stanford Points for bird’s eye views of everything Yosemite Valley is famous for, like Bridalveil Falls, Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, El Capitan and more... way, way more! We'll enter Yosemite Valley that afternoon where we'll enjoy a short scenic drive through Yosemite Valley to the Half Dome Pizza Deck for a well-earned dinner of Pizza and Beer before heading back to your accommodations for the evening!
