Wonderful experience and plan to return. I went on a weekend expedition to the Ansel Adams…read moreWilderness by Yosemite. It was absolutely incredible. I went with a church group with 10 other men and we were greeted late at night by two guides that had the best attitudes even though we arrived super-late. They had everything ready to go at the campsite so we didn't have to worry about any gear and just go right to sleep. They took care of all of our meals, too. The next morning we took a 6-mile hike and went swimming in a mountain lake all the while discussing meaningful things in our lives to connect with one another. It was a real bonding and growing experience. We later did a 3-hour solo trip to be alone for 3 hours and really enjoyed it. The next day we went rock climbing and learned a great deal from the experience, much more than just rock climbing. We were only there for about 36 hours in total, but loved every minute of it. Some other things about the company: They have multiple pre-packaged "courses" in addition to the ability to create customized courses which is what we went on. Their pre-packaged courses include Father-Children courses, Leadership development courses, single parent courses, among many other adventure courses. All of the courses are aimed at giving a God-centered educational experience that you will not forget. Activities include camping, hiking, rock climbing, swimming, among other activities. They are headquartered in a cool cabin in Bass Lake, CA, but operate all over the world. Adventure sites include some of the most beautiful places in the world like Mt. Rainier, Yosemite, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Holy Land and South America among other places. Super helpful guides and instructors who obviously love their jobs (I'm candidly a little jealous). From the website: "Our focus is providing custom programming using service, adventure and experiential education as tools to strengthen relationships with God and others......Since 1973, Summit Adventure has used wilderness and adventure as tools to facilitate transformation, build compassion, strengthen relationships and deepen faith. These processes take place through time-tested and proven strategies that Summit Adventure has used over the past four decades." The adventures are reasonably priced. Summit Adventure is a not-for-profit organization.

We stopped in as our boys wanted to do a little fishing on our way out of the park. Our oldest son had a fishing pole and tackle box (a gift from his grand-dad) but was unable to set it up properly. We stopped in to buy some bait and see if we could get a little help with his pole. The owners were wonderful! They completely set it up for him while explaining everything as they went along. They gave him advice on what fish were in the lake, what bait to use and where (and where not) to fish. We felt bad only buying the bait and a few snacks, as they were so very nice to us. I highly recommend anyone passing through the area, stop in and give this worthy local shop some business. (My only regret is taking so long to post this review.)

My husband had a great time and caught a ton of fish with Luke. Unfortunately my son and I were left behind for long periods of time. Luke brought one pole though we all though we would be able to fish. I never got a chance to be taught or fish; I just had to try and keep up in the slippery river. Luke instructed us to not bring any personal items to the river as we would be back to the car shortly. We left behind food, water, phones and emergency/first aid gear. We never returned to the car during our 4 hour trip but Luke forgot to tell us that. At one point my son and I were left behind since he was feeling dizzy and lightheaded due to the altitude. They continued on without us and we sat alone in the river for about an hour having no idea where they were or where we were. I am sure this is a great experience for solo adults but I would not recommend for a safe and enjoyable family outing. Luke mentioned he was a realtor for his primary employment and was just doing this on the side; I was not surprised to hear this at the end of our trip. I also reached out to Jimmy about the safety concerns and was sent a video to "prove me wrong". They then asked to speak with my husband instead of me. I would recommend finding a different company for your family's once in a life time outing.

The trail is uphill for about 20-25 minutes at a moderate pace, before going downhill slightly. There you will find "Glass Rock" where there is a lot of natural rock seating for you to enjoy the lake view. If you time it right, you can enjoy the sunset here, but make sure to bring a headlamp to assist with the return trip since it will be pretty dark by then. The hike uphill is grueling enough to make you squirm a little bit, but rewarding with a great view and seating. This area is really remote, with only a few road-side parking spots. To spot the "trailhead" look for the trail right next to the cut up logs. The trail is in average condition. Hopefully people can take better care of it by carrying out their own trash and adhere to "no trace" exploring. It seems someone also built a fire pit here too (not sure if that is legal).
