They showed us sites we have never seen before and we can't wait to go back and explore more of the park with Echo. We highly recommend them for courteous service and great value for the price.

The Best Experience of Our Entire Trip!…read more Absolutely the highlight of our trip! My 10-year-old son and I booked a half-day fly fishing adventure, and Kevin picked us up right from our cabin at FireFall. We were complete beginners, but Kevin was patient, kind, and incredibly encouraging--especially with my son. He brought absolutely everything we needed to fish, making it completely hassle-free. Kevin's attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm made it an absolute pleasure. When we come back, we're 100% booking this again--and we'll be asking for Kevin by name. If every guide were as good as him, we'd all be lucky!

Cannot say enough good things about this place! I reached out wanting to organize a bouldering trip…read morefor a group of 5 of us who only ever climb in the gym and wanted to start climbing more outside. Hayden and Austin were amazing, going over the basics of outdoor climbing, how to safely fall on crash pads, and how to down climb. They took us throughout Columbia to places we would never be able to find on our own, and guided us through climbing the boulders they have been climbing for years. We had such a fun day and cannot wait to come back and climb with them again. Whether you're a new climber looking to learn how to climb outside, or an experienced climbing wanting someone to take you to some hidden gems you would never be able to find on your own, you should definitely reach out to them if you're in the area!

I bought one of my sleeping bags at the mountain shop-- my Nemo Forte 20…read more I remember buying it on clearance for less than $200, which, at the time, seemed like a good deal. It's been an okay bag. It was also my only option. In the year and a half since I purchased this bag, the Shop has not curated any other bags. The only option (for male or female) is the Forte 20. It's unclear why it was ever on clearance. Since temperatures in Yosemite Valley regularly drop down to 16 degrees Fahrenheit from November-March, I wonder why the only bag the shop carries is one that's only rated down to 20 degrees. I would also note that this rating is for survival, not for comfort. In order to survive the sub 20 degree temperature over the past few weeks, I used two sleeping bags, two blankets, and two insulators. The shop must be missing out on so many hundreds of thousands of dollars of sleeping bag sales. Would anyone else have bought a more expensive Mountain Hardware 0 degree bag, if that had been an option? I might have. This pattern applies across most backpacking categories. Want a tent? You have one option under $500 that might actually be in season. Want a stove? You've got one option. Want any niche women's gear, like maybe a kula cloth? Well piss off, because your one option for everything seems to have been curated by a 19 year old male climber. Whoever does the purchasing for this store does a great job of listening to what teenage male climbers want to buy-- and that's it! Why does the product selection suck so bad? It's not like there's not enough room for more inventory. Literally an entire side of the store that's meant to be a display wall is just blocked off. It looks terrible. Anyone who is a professional retail merchandiser would literally grimace looking at the outside merchandising of the mountain shop. I know I do. It looks awful. It could look a thousand times better. In a pinch, you might get what you need, maybe. Unless it's a decent selection of seasonally appropriate tents or sleeping bags-- you won't find that here, for some reason. Here is the selection of tents mid-December: Nemos over $500, an MSR. Elixir 2 for $300 (when it's in stock, which is less than half the time) and... make this make sense... a Kelty summer tent for $60. Why the summer tent? The two spaces it's taking up could be two Coleman options or like, any reasonable option that could be used in fall or winter. If you don't buy what you need before you get to Yosemite, you might find yourself driving back out to the nearest REI in Fresno, or ordering your supplies via Amazon Prime.

We came in to check out the store and the selection is rather large. Since we were there towards…read morethe end of the season, there were some good sales going on. Please come and create your own adventure.
