I am going to be visiting Yosemite for the first time in July. I am looking for suggestions for challenging three day backpacking itineraries. I would love to experience some of the main sights but I know the park will be crowded in the summer so some "off the beaten path" suggestions would be great. Or just suggestions on a solid, first Yosemite experience. I hope this isn't my one and only time to visit the Park, but if it is, I want to know I experienced as much of it as I could within my timeframe.
I am an experienced day hiker (Cactus to Clouds, Rim to Rim, etc) and I am just beginning to venture into the world of backpacking. Can't wait!
