"I created a special bond with my family by completing such an arduous goal, and
I learned to appreciate the great outdoors. I can’t say enough about what this
trip represents to me. Anytime I think I can’t do something, I remember this
adventure."

Nellie NoelleNew Orleans, LA
"Even though trails like the Mist Trail are pretty popular, Jesse knew all the
hidden gems. He took us to the best spots for photos, cool shady areas, and
spots away from the crowds. It made the trip feel so much more special."

Tom EvansSt. Louis, MO
"My experience with Jesse and Lamplighters in Yosemite in July '23 was EPIC.
Jesse goes above and beyond to insure his guests have an excellent experience.
The trip was EPIC!"

Allen ApgarEast Earl, PA
"We wouldn’t usually hire a guide for this kind of trip. But this was worth it.
What we gained in depth of experience far outweighs the cost. My whole family
had an amazing time, including our three year old!"

AJ KiserTucson, AZ
"I had the most amazing experience with Jesse in Yosemite. I did this adventure
with two of my daughters. It is a trip we will never forget. We are thankful we
got to experience the beauty of Yosemite with a confident and experienced
leader."

comfortable - he was patient, encouraging, very knowledgeable and made the whole
experience really fun!"

Grace FitzpatrickLos Angeles, CA
"Jesse is an amazing guide! From start to finish everything was planned out
thoroughly. Jesse felt like a long time friend even though we just met and going
solo that really was comforting. As soon as I can I really am hoping to sign up
for another adventure!"

Roger TijerinaLoma Linda, CA
"Jesse has a presence that really puts you at ease. He’s got every detail
covered, his enthusiasm and passion for the area shine, but he was also calm,
relaxed, and really “go with the flow” through the whole trip. 10/10! Thank you,
Jesse!"
