High Sierra Camps

Imagine all the joy of backpacking without the burden of a heavy backpack filled with tents and cooking gear. That’s the appeal of the Yosemite High Sierra Camps, nestled high in the wilderness and surrounded by nothing but nature. Accessible on foot or by mule, once you’re here you’ll be free to explore the back country—carrying only a day pack as you head out each day. The five camps are spaced 6 to 10 miles apart along a loop trail. If you're new to wilderness travel, guided mule trips and guided hiking trips are available.
