LADIES WEEKEND OUT // YOSEMITE
INFO & REGISTRATION
REGISTRATION for Backpacking programs OPEN JANUARY 2025!
Ladies Weekend Out is heading back to Yosemite National Park in Summer 2024! Ten Ladies will have the opportunity to join our awesome LWO female guide team for a fun weekend getaway in Yosemite National Park in 2024!
Throughout this long weekend we’ll travel through some of the lesser seen sights of Yosemite National Park’s high country via Ten Lakes, just west of Tuolumne Meadows, as we wind our way through Ten Lakes Basin and thread the trail through the Yosemite high country. During our trip we’ll have the pleasure of camping for two nights in Ten Lakes Basin, we’ll pass by the impressive Tuolumne Peak, and we’ll get to camp on the third night at Polly Dome Lakes!
Ladies Weekend Out Yosemite is 5 days and 4 nights in total and includes a pre-trip meetup and camping the day before, 4 days of guided backpacking and 3 nights camping in Yosemite National Park ‘s wilderness, a Têra Kaia top, and a select amount of Demo backpacking backpacks from our partners at Rab.
Our Ladies Weekend Out events are quickly becoming the go-to, all female climbing and backpacking events to attend! The smaller group size sets the stage for a more intimate weekend where participants get to know one-another and receive more personalized instruction and guidance. The relationships formed from our LWO events is what makes these weekends so special and such a success! We hope to see you out there, it's going to be another memorable Ladies Weekend Out event!
