Summary: What an epic day. Gabe, the business owner, took us out himself. 10/10 would recommend. Some people would ask why do you need a guide? Gabe added so much, first he could prep us to make sure we weren’t missing anything for a hike like this, he took us off trail multiple times so we could see better views, he knows the awesome photo spots that aren’t on the trail, this is by far the best way to get a permit to take on Half Dome. Another huge perk is know all the little water spots to get refills along the hike. He’s also a great dude who both my wife and I enjoyed talking with throughout the day. We’ll be return customers for sure.
