Greetings!
I'm planning a backpacking trip in Yosemite and would love some help! I've never backpacked before.
Me and my spouse are looking to plan a week long trip in mid June (about the 11-18). Looking for a variety of scenery, with hikes and backpacking environments that are good/safe for beginners. Would like to be secluded, but do not need to be totally isolated.
Seems like lower elevations spots are good, to avoid snow/cold weather. I was looking at Wawona & Hetch Hetchy. Are these good places for what I'm looking for? The other spots sound either very crowded or too high in elevation. Anyone have an opinion on which they like more (Wawona or Hetch Hetchy)? Or perhaps we could camp in both, spending 3 days in each? Or someplace else?
I know I have to reserve wilderness passes. Starts to get overwhealming which trail to reserve. Can anyone suggest trails to reserve in Wawona & Hetch Hetchy? I've been looking the availability here and trail descriptions from the link on this page.
Sorry I haven't asked very specific questions! Just looking for some tips to point me in the right place, or perhaps trips yall have planned before.
Thanks in advance!
