5 Camps, Limitless Adventure
Travel Alert:
Due to ongoing challenges from the pandemic, the National Park Service and Yosemite Hospitality have made the difficult decision to keep the High Sierra Camps closed for the 2022 season. As a result of the closure, guests with confirmed reservations will be notified of the cancelation via email and deposits will be refunded. The health and safety of Yosemite National Park visitors and employees is the park’s top priority and we thank you for your understanding.
我们预计2023高山营地赛季将于2022年10月1日开始抽奖。
2022 Cancelled Itineraries:
If you had an itinerary cancelled in 2022, you will be guaranteed a winning spot in the lottery for the 2023 season should you choose to enter. However, you will need to re-enter the lottery and submit your date preferences in October 2022 in order to secure your spot for the 2023 season.
Imagine all the joy of backpacking without the burden of a heavy backpack filled with tents and cooking gear. That’s the appeal of the Yosemite High Sierra Camps, nestled high in the wilderness and surrounded by nothing but nature. Accessible on foot or by mule, once you’re here you’ll be free to explore the back country—carrying only a day pack as you head out each day. Camps are spaced 6 to 10 miles apart along a loop trail. If you're new to wilderness travel, guided mule trips and hiking trips are available.

High Sierra Map
Glen Aulin
At an elevation of 7,800 feet above sea level, Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp was established in 1929—nestled next to a magnificent waterfall and pool on the Tuolumne River. When you camp in one of the eight cabins here, you'll enjoy watching the sun set each evening with a stunning view of Mt. Conness in the distance.
May Lake
从五月湖停车场步行1.2英里进入艰苦的上坡,五月湖高塞拉营地提供了周围山区荒野的不可思议的观点。这里充满了和平与宁静——坐落在高山之上,旁边是一个原始的湖泊。对于摄影师来说,坎普背后的山脊是一个必看的地方,每天晚上都有壮丽的日落。用钓鱼、放松来打发你的日子——或者强壮的徒步旅行者可以出发前往霍夫曼山的顶峰——优胜美地国家公园的地理中心,它映在五月湖上。2022世界杯什么时候开始营地提供8间小屋,可容纳36名客人。
Sunrise
Facing east, Sunrise Camp is famous for its unimaginably beautiful sunrises—as the sun peeks over the distant mountain ranges, casting vivid colors across the morning sky. Set next to a lovely alpine meadow, the Camp faces Mt. Florence and Mt. Clark beyond. The hiking is excellent here, as you’ll be starting from 9,400 feet above sea level. Built in the early 1960s, Sunrise High Sierra Camp was the last camp to be built on the fifty-mile High Sierra Camp Loop. Nine cabins provide beds for 34 guests.
Merced Lake
最初的高营位于约塞米蒂,默塞德湖建于1916年,是高营中最偏远的一个。位于默塞德湖附近,徒步旅行者倾向于停留片刻,享受游泳,钓鱼和宁静的日子沿着它的海岸。由于营地海拔相对较低(7150英尺),这里的温度相对较暖。在这个季节,这个营地比其他高地营地更早,也更晚。大多数游客到达默塞德湖前一晚都在Sunrise或Vogelsang度过。事实上,由于地处偏远,许多游客会选择在默塞德湖度过一个或多个夜晚。
Vogelsang
Vogelsang是高山脉中海拔最高的营地,海拔超过10000英尺,Vogelsang建于1940年,是一个伟大的基地营地,适合徒步到周围的高山湖泊,包括Evelyn湖,Ireland湖,Boothe湖,Emeric湖和Vogelsang湖。在这里,你会发现舒适的住宿和热情好客——在近两英里高的地方。我们的12间小屋为42位客人提供舒适的床铺,但没有淋浴。
