Guided hiking, backpacking, trekking, and mountain running trips in the Sierra Nevada
Yosemite National Park
What better way to see Yosemite for the first time or explore the away-from-the-car places you’ve dreamed of and seen in pictures. SMG is excited to launch an all new trekking program into the heart of Yosemite.
The hills of our home have amazing diversity and pristine beauty. More than 400 miles in length and more than 100 lifetimes of Sierra trekking. Here are some of the offerings:
NEW! The Range of Light is known to die-hard trail runners as the Range of Light and Fast! With your own two legs, a light pack, and a pair of trail shoes you can see more stunning terrain in a few days than backpackers typically see in a week. Our Sierra Fastpacking itineraries make use of porters, pack animals, transportation shuttles, and deluxe camps to maximize comfort, enjoyment, and recovery.
Evolution Basin- 4 days, Level 3, August 4-8, 2009
Mammoth to Yosemite: 3 Days, Level 2.5, Coming soon
Virginia Lake to Twin Lakes: 3 days, Level 2.5, Coming soon
If you don’t have the time for a backpacking trip, or you prefer a hotel based hiking trip, our custom day hikes are for you. Great for kids just starting out, and parents that want to see some new terrain with a trained guide. READ MORE
