About your guide

Your guide is Eric Kufrin.

Eric has spent years exploring the National Parks, completing a personal journey to visit all 63 parks and returning again and again to the one that means the most: Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite is more than a destination to him. It is a place he knows deeply — through early mornings on quiet trails, long days in the backcountry, and countless returns across changing seasons.

He guides to share that connection with others — helping you experience Yosemite safely, confidently, and in a way that stays with you long after the trail ends.
