I have one last question: Without a US driving license and without a car, how do you recommend I can reach the place where we meet to start in Yosemite Park? What recommendation for transit from SFA/Palo Alto to Yosemite?

I recommend googling 'Rome2Rio' and clicking on their website and then enter Palo Alto, CA as your starting point and then enter Curry Village, CA as your end point to see travel options. The capacity for this tour is 10 hikers and there are only 4 openings left.

Our Yosemite basecamp trip with Kevin and Dan exceeded our expectations in every way! From the magnificent scenery, the delicious meals, quality equipment - everything was top notch! Kevin and Dan were personable, fun, organized and flexible. They took us all over the park (away from crowds) and adapted the hiking schedule based on our requests, even taking us on a night hike under the full moon! Wouldn't have seen all that we did without them!! Highly recommend Wildland Trekking!Show more

  We can't "hold" a spot for you until you're ready to book. At this time there are still a handful of spaces available, so you will probably be fine waiting until Tuesday or Wednesday to book.
