707-365-4227I have years of hiking and backpacking experience and am most comfortable in the outdoors. With years of guiding experience, through MeetUp Groups, UC Davis Outdoor Adventures, and personal guiding, my passion is in helping others "stretch" themselves by experiencing things they might not otherwise experience. Through these organized events, my goal is to provide a safe environment for ladies of all experience levels to learn new things and grow. I meet each participant where they are at and believe we all have a unique badassery waiting to be discovered. My communication line is open and I look forward to sharing outdoor adventures with each of you. Let's journey together ~ Tarita
Women’s Day Hike: North Dome (Yosemite)
Price: $40 Participants: 10
Refund Policy: $10 non-refundable service fee. Remainder refundable up to 30 days before event. This trek is weather and road opening dependent. If cancelled by Step Into Your Journey, full refunds will be issued.
Skill Level: This is an intermediate/advanced hike and is NOT appropriate for beginners. If you are interested and are uncertain as to your ability, please shoot me a message so we can discuss it.
Using the porcupine creek trail, we will visit the Indian Ridge Natural Arch and then continue on our way to North Dome where we will sit directly across from Half Dome and enjoy the amazing views of the Valley and beyond.
This will be an all day trek, with plenty of breaks for rest, food, water and simple enjoyment for the day. Intermediate/Advanced refers to distance and elevation gain not to pace, and my pace will be that which is necessary to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the slowest person in the group. Participants must be comfortable with that concept as I am about compassion, teamwork, support and a “tribe” mentality.

- Distance: 10.4 miles
- Elevation Gain: 2349 Ft fairly spread out throughout the trek.
