Yosemite National Park
2022-07-27 22:00 - 2022-07-30 13:00 | Yosemite National Park Rd, Yosemite Valley, CA 95389, USA
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!
On 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.
To join the event, you are NOT required to hike the half dome on Thursday. Instead, you can explore the valley and the falls. If you plan to hike the half dome, you should be physically fit. Hiking the Half Dome is on a first come first served basis.
Day 1

Day 2
Exploring the city of Groveland. The city offeres a lot of activities and access to facilities for the residents. We will be picnicking along the Pine Moutain Lake Marina. At the lake you have the option of swimming, kayaking, stand up paddling, etc.

Everybody will be arriving to the cabin in Groveland by 9:00 pm, Wednesday 7/27. We will head out by 4:30 am on Thursday 7/28 and will gather in Yosemite Valley at the Happy Isles trailhead at 5:45 am.
After introductions, packing up our gear and lacing up our boots, we will hike up the Mist Trail to Little Yosemite Valley. Even though the literal high point of the trip does not come until we reach Half Dome, the trail past Vernal and Nevada Falls on our way is simply incredible. Please note that our access to the submit may be denied due to thunderstorms, rains, etc. If all goes well, we should be back down by 7:30 pm.
After the hike, we’ll be heading back to the cabin, equipped with an outdoor hot tub and barbecue stand, to revive.
