Day 1
We meet in Yosemite Valley at a location TBD. After a brief pack check we board a park shuttle bus that takes us into the Yosemite high country and our trail head at Tuolumne Meadows. The first day we hike to Cathedral Lakes or Sunrise Lakes with views of Cathedral Peak along the way.

Day 2
After a possibly spectacular sunrise and leasurely breakfast we hike down through Sunrise Meadows, we leave the John Muir Trail and hike towards Sunrise Lakes. We then hike through some of the most spectacular mountain vistas on the planet exploring the views from Clouds Rest, Yosemite's largest expanse of granite. We descend to Sunrise Creek where we establish our camp for the night.

Day 3
An early start finds us hiking up the Half Dome trail ahead of the crowds. We ascend the famous "cable route" to Yosemite's most reconizable summit. The views from the top of Half Dome are absolutely incredible. We descend back to out camp along Sunrise Creek for the evening.

Day 4
Our last day is spent descending the John Muir and Mist trails past Nevada and Vernal Falls into Yosemite Valley.
