Summary:
John DeGrazio was beyond excellent. His knowledge of Yosemite history, flora and fauna made our day. He was accommodating to our request of different stops along the way. After years of hiking excursions, John continues to show his love of nature and Yosemite. Our four hours and six miles went quickly as we marveled at the mountains surrounding us .

The website was easy to navigate. I chose this company because we had a limited time in Yosemite and covered all the must see sights. Our guide Erin was AMAZING!!! She was easy to connect with, understood our fitness levels and adjusted accordingly, taught us a lot about Yosemite and was a true pleasure for our 5 and a half hour hike. Would highly recommend!!!
