We (group of 3) are looking forward to backpack in Yosemite NP during late july/early august. We have plans for 2 days of trip. We have backpacked once on our way to Mt Whitney summit last summer, hence we are not first-timers although we are yet to test our route-finding skills. For our 2 days trip, we are looking something like 18-20miles of trail and elevation shouldn't be of much issue. The main idea of this trip would be to explore yosemite and its beauty.
I would greatly appreciate if you folks can suggest a few trails. For the permits, I am thinking of walking upto the permit station a day before and try to get.
Thanks in advance!

thank you!
i have a general question. how can i find out the elevation change on these trails, just to get an idea of what I am getting into? pls let me know.
This is a profile of the trail starting at the Young Lakes via Glen Aulin Trailhead (22C) and going up by Dingley Creek. The flat spot by the two humps at 7 miles is the Lower Young Lake shore. The trip back is via Dog Lake and Lembert Dome. Try to take the short spur to Dog Lake and also take the use trail to the top of Lembert Dome if you feel up to it.
If you can't get a Glen Aulin trailhead (22C) permit then do the hike in reverse and start at TM using the Young Lakes via Dog Lake trailhead (23).

Don't let the profile scare you. This does represent 14+ miles. There are no 70 degree inclines! Hee hee!
