I have never been to yosemite and am very excited about this trip. We would like to hike 6 to 8 miles a day and hang out a bit. Then move on. If there is a hike where we can stay for several days and do day hikes that would be perfect. Just starting to plan and very excited. What maps should I get, areas that are best, etc! Wide open for ideas. Thanks and happy new year all. Charleneby charlene - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
