Hi forum members,
My family (2 adults, a 14, 13, and 10 year old) are planning to be in Yosemite during the week of 8/24 and would like to do a 2 or 3 night trip. We've done a number of trips of this kind in places like Glacier NP, covering 8ish miles each day. Since the window for getting backcountry permits for late August is approaching, I would greatly appreciate your advice on itineraries that are would be suitable for our kind of group--e.g., with a balance of ascent/descent, easy access to water for drinking and playing in, great scenery. Am considering taking advantage of dinner options at a high sierra camp to lighted the load (especially if we do a 3-night trip), but that's not a must-have.
Thanks in advance for all your input in helping to narrow the amazingly large array of options...
Michele
PS: The two adults in this group did a number of 1 or 2 day hikes 20 years ago when we were living in CA, in the TM area, but sadly I'm completely blanking on our itineraries then!
