Come Hike with us in the beautiful High Sierras. Let our mini-donkeys carry everything for you. Half-Ass Adventures can lead you on moderate day hikes or overnight trips in areas that are stunning, yet not overcrowded. One of our most popular activities: Hike into one of our local alpine lakes, where you will be treated to a gourmet picnic, while a sommelier treats you to a private wine tasting from a local winery. Spend the day kayaking at a local alpine lake. For the truly adventurous, combine an overnight trip and kayak out to a campsite on an island.
