Awesome! Thanks for the advice!by amtoyama - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thank you! Do you think El Capitan would be a better location for a day hike on day 2 of our 3-day trip? I haven't been there or to North Dome either. I hike in Yosemite several times every year so I'll se both eventually. But I'm wondering which would be better with the current conditions.by amtoyama - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Hey everyone! Has anyone been up to the top of Yosemite Falls lately? I have wilderness permits for this weekend and am wondering how it is in terms of snow. Our plans are to camp wherever we are able to find a good spot in the allowable area beyond Yosemite Point. We would then likely day hike to North Dome the next day if the trail is in good condition. We are hiking down Yosemite Falls toby amtoyama - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thanks for all the great info! One more question... Do you know of any good camp sites near the top of Yosemite Falls that wouldn't be too far from the rim and have established fire rings? I'm sure we can find sites around the area but we'd love to have an idea of where to look. We are going to be exhausted from hauling our packs up that steep trail and probably will want to set up camp not mby amtoyama - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Hi Chick-On! Thanks for getting back to me. Essentially we are going to go up Upper Yosemite Falls and come back down the same way. We plan to camp around the Yosemite Point area within the allowable boundaries. We are going to set up camp for the weekend and then day hike around. So we thought about checking out North Dome if the snow doesn't get in the way. I guess Day hiking or camping aby amtoyama - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Hello. I'm new to this forum so please redirect me if this question is already answered. I've got permits for Upper Yosemite Falls at the very end of this month and am trying to get a sense of what the Yosemite Point/North Rim area will be like in terms of snow cover. I've been to this area before on a day hike but that was during the drought. Does that area usually keep snow late in the seasby amtoyama - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
