It's still more expensive than Ostrander. Ostrander is $20/person and Glacier Point is $110/person (all meals and drink included). So basically you have - camping: FREE! Long live camping! Carry everything you'll need, but in the Sierra, that's often not much (can usually skip the tent if you have a shovel just in case). - Ostrander: $20. Carry all your food and such, but don't need a tent. - Glacier Point: $110. All food included. You should only need to carry a few personal items for a day trip. I don't know whether or not bedding is provided. Do I need to point out that if you like quiet, lonely wilderness experiences, you should do these trips during the week or, if you're camping, go anywhere but Ostrander, GP, or Dewey Point?
