The Ansel Adams Wilderness is filled with high peaks, crystal clear alpine lakes, dense forests, glorious meadows, and amazing panoramas. We begin in accommodations in Southern Yosemite, then hike, while horses and mules carry our gear to camp on a scenic lake deep in the wilderness area which honors the great photographer Ansel Adams. Each day, you'll hike to different, unique destinations, enjoying lunch along the way. Guides, horses/mules, camping gear, lodging, and healthy meals are all included. This trip makes a wonderful Family Adventure!

Jerry: I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the entire outing, and I truly appreciate your planning, preparation, and execution. After 4 years of using SYMG, and 4 excellent outings, there is only one guide we insisted on having again, and it was you (unanimously). Thank you for your patience, guidance, knowledge, and humor for year number 5. Although we only do this once each year, we all look forward to another adventure led by you. - Chris Giannotti.
