Hi all,
First time Yosemite visitors and fairly experienced hikes/campers. We are heading out to Yosemite for 10 days in late September/early October of this year. We were lucky enough to get a Half Dome day pass, and also have our Wilderness pass so should be all set.
I wanted to ask some advice on our proposed route. We are doing some overnight camping to start out, and then focusing on day hikes for the second half of the trip.
The rough plan is to start at the Cathedral Lakes trailhead (camp at Lower Cathedral on night 1), hike down towards Sunrise Lakes (overnight here), maybe day hike out to Cloud's Rest (stay back at Sunrise) then hike back out on the Tenaya Lake trail and exit via the Cathedral Lakes trailhead.
Does that sound reasonable or are we cramming too much in to 3 nights/4 days? My main concern is whether the hike out from Sunrise Lakes via the Tenaya Lake trail will feel like too much of a death march after all the other hiking we'll have done. Any advice is much appreciated and thanks for helping some Yosemite rookies!
I also wanted to check - will it be fine to leave our car parked near the Cathedral Lakes trailhead for the 4 days we'll be out?
