Our base is the intimate Yosemite
Institute
(YI) and its secluded location far from the crowds. Here we'll
enjoy educational evening programs with knowledgeable naturalist guides
who provide
insight into the complex human and natural influences affecting this
great
American National Park. After a day of hiking we relax, share
hiking stories, enjoy a bountiful dinner, and plan the next days
hikes. Our
rustic location is just perfect for a hiking field seminar - it's like
going
to camp and being a kid again!
Come see why so many Knapsackers return year after year to find inspiration among the granite peaks, silent forests, and plunging waterfalls of Yosemite National Park.
