The Sierra Nevada is one of the most spectacular places for backpacking in the world.
Plan a multi-day loop trip or get onto the Pacific Crest Trail / John Muir Trail and experience some of the highest passes and tallest peaks along this range.
Set up a basecamp on the shore of an alpine lake or a secluded clearing in an alpine meadow.
Take day hikes, swim in the lake, fish, paint, or simply relax and let nature take care of you.
Hike in with a day pack, one small camera, and your phone camera and photograph to heart’s content.
Let us pack your camp gear and bigger camera gear to a basecamp where you can shoot sunrises, sunsets, and stars.
The High Sierra in summer is one of the incredible places for night photography in the world.
Trail maintenance is one of our regular activities. It's important to us to keep the trails safe for everyone in our beautiful big backyard.
