At the Yosemite Mountaineering School and Guide Service, we want to help you find yourself in nature. Our mountaineering school's certified guides will talk to you about the flora and fauna and the history of this incredible place while teaching you wilderness ethics, improving your knowledge and skill base and increasing your awareness for the safety of yourself and others. Whether you are looking for a one-on-one guided adventure, a group clinic or a team-building experience, The Yosemite Mountaineering School can help.
During the warmer months, we offer rock climbing lessons and guided climbs based out of Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows, guided day hikes and overnight backpacking trips. During the winter we move up to the Cross Country Ski Center at Badger Pass, where we offer XC ski lessons, rentals and overnight trips to our beautiful Glacier Point hut.
The Yosemite Mountaineering School and Guide Service has been a tradition in Yosemite since 1969. Our guides and instructors hold Wilderness First Responder certifications and many hold Wilderness EMT certification as well. We have decades of experience in our craft and in this region. Above all, we love what we do and love sharing our knowledge and skills with others.
