This was a trip of a lifetime for me… Scott made it smooth and confidence-building, turning a first backpacking trip into an unforgettable Yosemite experience.

The Red Peak Pass Loop is a challenging, but super rewarding back packing trip. Scott made it smooth and memorable with great planning, meals, and a true backcountry experience.

Debbie M.

The Best Trip Ever, according to my family. Scott made it unforgettable with great energy, planning, and breathtaking Yosemite experiences.
