What To Expect
Looking for something different then what is on our regular schedule? Choose this customizable option for a full-day adventure in Tuolumne Meadows. Plan to meet the guide in the morning and discuss options, which can include sightseeing and/or hiking.
If visiting Tuolumne Meadows we can do an easy hike to the top of Lembert Dome and visit Dog Lake at 9,170′ before returning to the meadows and enjoying a sip out of Soda Springs. If you should desire a longer/more strenuous hike, you can visit Gaylor Lakes or Cathedral Lakes.
Guides carry first aid kits, water purification, toilet paper (for emergencies), sunscreen and bug repellent. Please plan to bring your own lunch, snacks, water bottles, etc.
Note: Should weather, fire, and/or delayed seasonal openings affect the chosen itinerary, a different one will be offered. You will be kept in contact through this process. All profits from this guided trip go towards supporting our youth summer camp program.
