Hey,
My husband and I are planning on going to Yosemite in June. We would really like to hike to Clouds Rest and do an overnight right near there. From what I see online all the wilderness permits are booked for all the trail heads leading to Clouds Rest ( Sunrise Lakes, Cathedral Lakes, Happy Isels/ John Muir, and Glacier Point > LYV) the whole time we were planning on being in Yosemite ( June 14-16th) I'm wondering if there are any other Trails that lead to Clouds rest? We were planning an over night hike for Wednesday night the 15th. We are pretty good hikers and have done overnight hikes before. So even if it's a longer trail we could probably handle it.....
Any advice/ help would be awesome!
If we are not able to hike Clouds Rest and camp there, we would still like to do an overnight somewhere in the wilderness, preferable on a peak overlooking the valley.... I do know they still have first-come first- serve wilderness permits available the day before you want to hike... We may have to try that, but it's risky, and I would rather have something planned for sure than just hoping to be able to get one the day before.
What's your favorite overnight wilderness trip in Yosemite?
Thank you!
