Hi,
We are planning a mini HSC trip with our 7 year old from the 8th of July. We are staying in TM to acclimatise then a night each in GA and ML. It will be her first overnight hiking trip so we want to make it comfortable so hopefully further down the track we can try her with proper backpacking.
Have noticed that some space has opened up at GA and ML around our dates and am contemplating adding an extra day at GA so that we can go down to Waterwheel falls (she loves waterfalls) but am not sure whether there will be enough water to make it worthwhile?
It would mean we would lose a night on the Valley Floor (from 3 to 2) and my partner and the kidlet have never been to Yosemite so am not sure whether the extra night there would be the better choice with a small person in tow. As when we come down from ML we will go via Tenaya Lake and stop at Olmstead Point and maybe Tunnel View on the way down the valley if we changed it we would only have one full day on the valley floor, as on the way out we will go via Wawona.
Thoughts? And thank you
