Axis Wild Expeditions

…where the wild leads you home

Explore Trips

Reconnect. Rediscover. Reawaken.

Axis Wild Expeditions leads expert-guided journeys into the heart of Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks and the greater Sierra Nevada. Travel through remote terrain with local guides who know how to read the land, set the pace, and move with intention—drawing on years of experience guiding through these wild and inspiring landscapes.

Our trips balance physical challenge with presence, creating space for clarity, connection, and a deeper way of moving through the mountains.

Connection to place through mindful exploration of landscapes rich in story, scale, and spirit.
Connection to others through shared effort, laughter, and long conversations under open skies.
Connection to self through moments of stillness, reflection, and earned perspective.

Each expedition is guided with care, playfulness, and deep respect for the natural world — encouraging guests to find their own natural rhythm and sense of belonging in nature.

Whether you join us for a day or a week, our hope is that you leave re-centered, re-connected, and re-awakened — carrying a piece of the wild back into your everyday life.
