Me and 10 other of my friends are planning a trip there June 13th-20th. We've been there once but only for a day 2 years ago in May and even though it was wet and cold, we thought it was spectacular. We plan on tent camping, but have no reservations so we plan on taking a gamble with the first come first serve sites. During the week, half of us are planning on conquering Half Dome along with other day hikes. So I have a few questions for you guys and any help would be greatly appreciated.
1) Which first come first serve sites will be open for us? What time should we arrive to gurantee us 2 spots that are adjacent? Any strategy for getting a campsite?
2) Will half dome cables be up then? Do you think there will be a traffic jam on the cables around that time?
3) What are your recommended day hikes that are under 10 miles round trip (for my other fellows who aren't in such great shape). Are there any night hikes to a beautiful summon where we can relax at the top?
