My experience with LA was a truly one of kind experience. I've been on trips with them more than once and each time I find something new to love and come back for. Whether it be quality of service and companionship amongst Scott and they other leaders he employs or knowledge of the parks terrain, history, weather, culture, and rangers... More

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

We came to Yosemite without a specific plan and were suddenly overwhelmed by the vastness of the park - and our inability to choose a particular trail. Luckily - we ran into Scott at a visitor center where he spent almost an hour discussing options with us until we settled on a hike - which turned out spectacular (Toloume Meadows... More

You will be pushing yourself to your limits and learning how much strength you really have. You will gain deep friendships along your trip. Working together as a small community is even a lesson in selflessness and responsibility, and when these are combined one finds that responsibility is not a burden, it is rather enjoyable. Overall, your connection with nature,... More

I was a Boy Scout. I have done many backpacking trips in my day, through all of California and as far as New Mexico. After my Scouting days ended, I decided to take a trip with Lasting Adventures, whom I heard about from my high school. It was one of the most fun trips of my backpacking career. The hikes... 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

This trip was absolutely incredible. The staff do an excellent job taking you anywhere in Yosemite you might like to go. They know which areas of the park draw the most attraction and can help you find simply serene places without all the crowds. The breadth of knowledge the staff have is plentiful enough to help in any situation. The... More

We started our hike to Half-dome at 0530 in the morning. My son was keeping up pretty good for the first several miles, but starting falling behind as the altitude increased. 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
