CST2087766-40. Registration as a seller of travel does not constitute
approval by the State of California.
Bus Trips are chapter fundraisers organized to multiple special destinations each year.
Each year we organize trips to faraway destinations (usually the Sierra Nevada) for long weekends at Memorial Day (May), July 4th (Independence Day, June-July), and Labor Day (September).
Usually we schedule one bus for each trip, but beginning again in 2000 we have been scheduling a second bus for July 4th trips to Yosemite.
Though participants travel to and from trailheads together on a bus, we split into groups of about 12 (including leader and assistant) for backpacks to separate locations.
Some groups establish a basecamp and enjoy dayhikes from one location; other groups move camp each day; other groups employ a combination.
Each trip is announced in the Hi Sierran months in advance.
Popular trips fill within days; be sure to reserve promptly!
