This is a very similar question to an earlier thread, but since that poster was hiking in a group of 8 I hope you'll forgive the new topic.
Two of us are hiking in from Tunnel View mid-week at the end of May. We have done a fair share of backpacking though this is our first visit to Yosemite. (This forum is super helpful, thank you!)
There seem to be a lot of options for an overnight on the Pohono Trail so I thought I'd seek your advice. I was originally thinking we would get an early start from the Yosemite Village backpackers camp, make camp somewhere in the neighborhood of Bridalveil, hike out to Glacier and back without our packs, then hike back out the way we came in the next morning. But now I'm wondering if we should consider going down the 4-Mile Trail and hitching back to the car (we only have one), or even hiking up from Tunnel View in the evening when we first get there (instead of sleeping in the backpackers camp)? I only have a wilderness permit for one night but can try to change it...
Basically wondering what the ultimate best thing to do given two nights in the park, two pretty fit human beings, and the Pohono Trail.
Thank you!
