SUMMARY:Yosemite National Park
DESCRIPTION:As one of America’s most popular national parks\, Yosemite boasts some of the best views\, hiking trails\, and family vacation opportunities in the country. Starting from the floor of the Valley\, we’ll attempt to summit Yosemite’s most iconic and awe-inspiring landmark: Half Dome! It’s not an easy journey to get to the 8\,836 foot summit\, but we’ll be rewarded with unparalleled views. This trip has been a Yosemite classic ever since its first ascent in 1875. Since then\, thousands of individuals have made the trek. This trip is on every High Sierra hiker’s to-do list\, and for good reason. Experience the ultimate Yosemite adventure! \nOn this three day event\, we’ll be exploring the park\, hiking the Half Dome\, learn about unique features of Yosemite\, and will boost our mental health via nature wandring in the Yosemite National Park. \nTo join the event\, you are NOT required to hike the half dome on Thursday.
