Does the TM BP's camp typically fill by mid-afternoon? I need to secure a spot for our party. Thanks in advance.by Smokehiker - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
On my upcoming BP trip I will be passing by food lockers midway through the trip. Instead of carrying three days of food during the first part of the trip, will the food be safe (be there) on the day I want to pick it up? I know I run the risk of it not being there. I guess I'm looking if others have done this. Thanks in Advance SHby Smokehiker - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Many years ago, our party camped close to the CR/JMT intersection. It was a drier year and the water source was just a trickle. I understand with the heavy snowpack this year that this source should be in good shape. Yes there are no views in this area, but the purpose of staying there is of course the proximity to HD. We had HD to ourselves for 2+ hours on the morning we went. Enjoy!!by Smokehiker - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
My party of three have a YNP BC permit for mid-August. My third choice trailhead is what out permit is for, and we are excited to have the opportunity to BP YNP once again. My question is this..... I would prefer entering at another trailhead for this trip. Is it acceptable to try and obtain a walk-up permit (for the trailhead I would like) and if successful, cancel the one I currently haveby Smokehiker - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
