Yosemite's High Sierra camps boast an amazing experience that is part warm hospitality, part adventure. Located high in the wilderness, obtainable only by foot or by saddle, are five unique hike-to camps spaced 5.7 to 10 miles apart along a loop trail in Yosemite's beautiful High Country.

Partaking of the Yosemite High Sierra Camps takes backpacking to an entirely new dimension. On High Camp Loop Trips, you are free to hike at your own pace. Free of the weight of tents and multiple days' food and water, you'll find more time to enjoy the scenery and less time wondering when you can drop your pack.

Spark your imagination with this wonderful first-hand account of the High Sierra Camps, published in The New York Times and written by Claire Spiegel of Los Angeles.

Overnight accommodations in Yosemite at the High Sierra Camps includes full dinner and breakfast, served up family-style in cozy dining tents. Box lunches for the next day on the trail are available at an additional cost and may be ordered the night before departure.

Testimonials

“Today marks the day that my parents would be married for 69 years.  They married in 1940 and honeymooned in Yosemite staying in a cottage that was at the base of Yosemite Falls.  Our family’s love affair with Yosemite began with my mother’s parents coming to Yosemite for their honeymoon in 1913.  All my parent’s children have spent a part of their honeymoon in Yosemite as well, thanks to a gift from our grandmother.  Yosemite will forever be a place of grandeur, beauty and sweet memories for my family.  Though my father is not here to mark this special day in his life with my mother, we still remember that a beautiful young couple came to Yosemite 69 years ago to celebrate the beginning of their many devoted years together.  We are forever truly grateful for all that Yosemite means to our family.”
– Mary Anne L.
