Thanks so much for the advice! That really helps! I'm now thinking of heading to Sunrise camp from Lake Merced and then back through Cathedral Pass instead of heading back to the valley. It's a little longer, but I've never seen Cathedral Lakes so I'd love to do that. Plus no need to hitchhike back to Tuolumne from the Valley! I've never been through that part yet.

My friend and I are planning to do a 30.7mi trip from Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley. Last time this forum had some excellent advice and info! We start Oct 4: our plan is to hike from TM to Vogelsang Pass and camp around there. Day 2 we plan to hike to Lake Merced. Day 3 we'll hike to Little Yosemite Valley, and day 4 we hike down to the Valley. Does anyone have advice for this trip? Mby ruggeri - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Thanks for the great advice, Dave! I'll definitely keep that safety advice in mind. And I'm really excited to see the Arch! I called the wilderness ranger today and she says that Snow and Lehamite have come down significantly. At least we don't have to worry about being able to get water from those!by ruggeri - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Hello friends! My friends and I have permits to hike from Tamarack Flat Campground. Our plan is to hike to the summit of El Capitan, staying the night somewhere in that vicinity. The next day we hope to hit Eagle Peak and Yosemite Falls, and to camp at Lehamite Creek. For the final day, our hope is to visit North Dome and Indian Rock Arch. We'd then descend along Snow Creek.
