Both of my kids have participated in multiple Lasting Adventures backpacking trips. These trips truly were "lasting adventures," which they will remember for a lifetime. Not only did they get to see some of the most incredible sights in the United States up close, including views from the tops of Half Dome, Clouds Rest, Mt. Hoffman and North Peak, they... More

Back in the days, I wanted to summit Half Dome but I didn't had any real experience in backpacking or camping. I knew I needed a guide. Luckily, I found Lasting Adventures website. Their rates were very competitive, compared to other offers and despite my fear of some "hidden fees" or other surprised, I decided to register with them for... More

I took a 4 day/3 night backpacking trip with Lasting Adventures in September and it was every bit as great as I remember from when I was in my 20's and used to backpack in Yosemite with a group from my college. Better maybe, because all the food planning and shopping was included, and the equipment I didn't already have... More

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
