Hi all, my first attempt at posting some pics. This forum is amazing and I saw Chick On's comment about people needing to post so I will be doing so for future hikes! But even for those who havent posted the sharing here is the best forum anywhere and that should be noted! I have a multi-day low mileage hike planned from what i learned here and pics will be coming when i do! Hope this works -by Tedbay - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
First thanks to the folks here who because of what I have learned got me into backpacking vs my previous day trips. I tried my first ever timelapses while hiking and because it was a supermoon it was very bright but think the stars were still beautiful. Here are two timelapses from our campsite. I will post pics from the hike later this week but it was beautiful looking down from the heavens iby Tedbay - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Hi somewhat new to backpacking after a zillion day hikes and wanted to ask for a recommendation. Have never been to Merced Lake and was thinking of two options (taking hikes slow to relax and see the sights), one more high country/less crowded. Would be in July. 1) Merced Lake from Happy Isles; first night probably just past LYValley as I hear it is crowded (any recommended camping spots?); 2nby Tedbay - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Thanks again for the ideas! will definitely be off trail from the peak and will checkout the other spot too. I was wondering about the marsh area so early in the season. I just picked up a new camera and might try my first time lapse of the sun coming up or maybe the stars at night. may not come out first time but hoping to capture a new perspective. will be a great breather to get way from work.by Tedbay - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
