Emigrant Wilderness Backpacking Trip

5 Days in the Emigrant Wilderness

Trailmaster Rick Gilles has planned another adventure for us coming up soon August 14-18 with travel days on the 13th and 19th! We are embarking on a 5-day backpack through the Emigrant Wilderness, entering the wilderness August 14 and exiting August 18. This trip is for semi-beginners and experienced backpackers alike. Of the 5 days, we will be hiking 4 days with a zero day in the middle.

Located on the northern border of Yosemite National Park, and backing up to the Sierra Crest (where the PCT travels the edge), this wilderness area is chock-full of lakes, trees, and large granite domes and fins.  Some of our travels will be in the woods, and some will be over granite ridges.
