We have planned all year for a week and a half backpacking trip starting from Happy Isles. We are flying into Oakland on 8-1-08 and then Amtraking it to Merced where we jump the bus to Yosemite / Yosemite lodge drop-off. With the Telegraph fire I am very concerned about getting into the park with these travel arrangements. All tickets have been purchased and are basically non refundable at thisby tm1961 - General Discussion
Thank you everyone for your input and advice. I always hear that it is hard to get a permit for Happy Isles but last year my son and I got them in July for August. Our plane was delayed in and we didn't arrive in time to claim them. we went to the wilderness center the following morning and began waiting at 4:00AM. we were 3rd in line and got 2 permits for that day over memorial day weekend.

I would like to start at Happy Isles trail head an go up the mist trail, camp the first night near the half dome trail split. Found site back there last year. We could climb Half doby tm1961 - General Discussion
