I purchased the "Half a Dome in a day" hiking with Lasting Adventures last Aug11. The hiking was strenuous, a bit challenging but worth every effort! Guides were very friendly and supported me all the time. I recomend this hiking and the company. Fabio/Brazil More

My husband and I had the pleasure of booking a guided hike with Lasting Adventures, Inc. Scott Gehrman and a junior guide took us on diffifult but very rewarding trails in Yosemite--Mist Trail to see Vernal and Nevada Falls, Panaramic Trail to Glacier Point. The total hike was 16 miles and very challenging, but one of the most unforgettable experiences... More

Lasting Adventures delivered a truly exceptional outdoor experience. While originally contracted for access to half dome passes, Scott and his staff offered so much more. Their expertise, motivation, and customer focus are second to none. I would recommend Lasting Adventures to anyone planning a hike in Yosemite. More

The crew for lasting adventures is one of a kind. They all have a good sense of humor and enjoy messing around. They easily change how the trip is run based on the group. If it is a group of teenagers they will get along well with them. If it's a group of grouchy old folks they will get along... More

The breadth of knowledge the staff have is plentiful enough to help in any situation. The... More

Our guide never gave up and kept giving words of encouragement throughout. Normal time for this hike is 9-12 hours, we took 13 hours. We were both soar for... More
