Yosemite Hiking at Yosemite Falls - Snow Creek

FOR THE ADVENTURER THAT LIKES IT

Yosemite hiking on the Yosemite Falls trail with Just Roughin' It. This Yosemite hiking tour winds around allowing you to see many amazing views of Yosemite Valley and ends on the Snow Creek trail. We consider this particular guided hike through Yosemite to be like a stairmaster workout, so be prepared.

Yosemite: Yosemite Falls/Snow Creek Hiking Tour

This Yosemite backpacking trip is a great alternative to the ever popular, and crowded, Half Dome 3 day trip. While also starting from Yosemite Valley, the Yosemite Falls/Snow Creek tour will have you leaving the day hiking crowds behind after a few miles as you ascend on the Upper Yosemite Falls trail. You will hike up the tallest fall in the park, as well as the lower 48 states, spend the night on top of El Capitan, see Half Dome from across the Valley from the less populated North Dome, and then make your way back to the Valley, finishing the loop via the Snow Creek trail.

The Yosemite Falls/Snow Creek hike is the perfect trip for anyone looking for a challenge (beware; this is the mother of all Stairmaster workouts), and is already visiting the Valley but want to stay away from the Half Dome craziness. You will still get much of the same views on the Upper Yosemite Falls hike, but,with more time for yourself!
