Yosemite + Lake Tahoe | 5-Day Lodging Trip

  I was really impressed with the level of organization and professionalism of this organization. There is a really strong commitment to planning the best possible trip. Nick,the owner was... read more an amazing guide and he was very positive and organized. He seemed exceptionally commited to making the trip as good as possible for everybody. Meghan, the other guide, was great as well. My entire group of 9 were all extremely happy with the week.
The hikes were all well chosen and 4 out of 5 were simply amazing. 2 of the hikes "Angel's Landing" and "The Narrows" are iconic Utah hikes that are simply not to be missed. There was one person in our group who was rehabbing from an injury and she was semlessly accomodated without affecting the rest of the group.
The camping equipment was all new and worked welll. The sleeping pads were comfortable and the sleeping bags were really warm. Meals were good and utilized fresh food. Morning coffee was excellent.
I really can't imagine a more enjoyable week and can't really recommend MountainBased any more highly. The care they took in order to provide an exceptional week was greatly appreciated.

  If you always wanted to explore the national parks but were intimidated by the driving, parking, scheduling, planning and logistics then you have just found your saving grace: MOUNTAINBASED. In... read more the haze of being under lockdown for months on end, I needed an OUTSIDE experience immediately. I desperately wanted to see the Mighty 5 National Parks in Utah but I was intimidated by the planning and logistics and stumbled across this tour company via a google search. It's the REAL DEAL and after reviewing its itinerary and tour packages its frankly the BEST DEAL out there.

Go out confidently with Mountainbased and feel one with nature, go an an adventure, step out of your comfort zone, meet new people from all over the world, and feel connected to life and land. Food, accommodation and transportation are all included and the services provided are exceptional.

I selfishly want to keep this company an exclusive secret but it's too awesome an experience not to share with anyone keen to explore- we all deserve a Mountainbased adventure.

  We have just returned from a week long trip to Zion / Bryce National Parks organized by Mountainbased. This was an extremely enjoyable camping and hiking experience for an... read more entire week.

Our family of 4 was joined by 6 others and together we had a fantastic experience.

Our trip guides, Eric and Justin, were professional, caring and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the camping trip and the national parks that we visited. Traveling with them helped maximize our overall experience. We visited Zion national park and did not have to fight the infamous crowds and did the two iconic hikes of Angel's Landing and the Narrows. At Bryce Canyon we did the Fairyland Loop hike that was awesome. The guides were amazingly knowledgeable about the geology, the foliage and everything we encountered in the national park.

We camped for four nights, at excellent camp grounds, and all of the equipment was provided by the company, all in good shape. Our guides are excellent chefs and prepared hearty and healthy meals every day. That was definitely a wonderful (and unexpected) surprise.

Eric and Justin facilitated group activities and during the trip week it felt like that we were one big family.

Mountainbased is a family owned company that is very easy to deal with.

This is a highly recommended trip. You have to be an outdoor enthusiast and like camping and hiking to enjoy this trip.

Our future travels will absolutely include trips offered by Mountainbased.

  Everything was perfect - my husband and I completed the Mighty Five for our honeymoon, and we had the best time! Our guide was able to plan around very sudden... read more rain, and we were able to fully enjoy all the parks despite the sudden weather change. Highly recommend!! We will use this business definitely in the near future!

  I did the 5 day "Southern Utah" trip covering Bryce, Zion and Grand Escalantes with 2 of my friends in a group of 12 people. The trip organization was amazing... read more with great camping locations, georgeous hikes, yummy food and perfectly planned itinerary. Nick 1 and Nick 2 were knowledgeable and friendly guides and went to great lengths to make our trip most enjoyable and kept the whole group engaged with their efforts and planning. Our fellow campers were also hugely cooperative and great folks to be around. I had a blast during the trip. Will be looking forward to do the Yellowstone a d Teton soon with MoutainBased.

  We did the 5-day 4-night trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Our guides were Justin, Meg, and Tyler. This is not something I would want to take the time... read more to plan out and organize and execute on my own with my family. They had everything taken care of. We tent camped each night. Their tents were easy to set up and they had self-inflating air mattresses that were comfortable. The guides cooked each meal and I would have to say that these meals were basically Gourmet, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Or maybe they just tasted so good because we had hiked so far each day? I greatly appreciated the delicious coffee each morning and the fact that everything was planned out for us. The guides were very accommodating and made it seem like nothing was a problem, even if our group needed to stop to use the restroom too often or had questions that they just answered. They were always very gracious. Highly recommended.

  This trip and the MountainBased team exceeded all expectations making it flawless from day 1. Nick was professional, knowledgable and genuinely loves his job. I met life long friends while... read more exploring some of the most incredible destinations. They set an unprecedented calibre of touring that is unmatched. I’m already booking another trip for next season.
