Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I'm looking forward to an awesome first visit to Yosemite and am hoping the predictions about the Half Dome cables (ready for the 16th) is on-target. That will give me a chance to try and adjust to the altitude (as much as possible). That is definitely something I'll have to deal with...maximum elevations in the Smokies is typically in the 6500 ft range.by TNhiker - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I'm getting ready to make my first trip to Yosemite and am wondering what my hiking options are going to be...especially given the slow melt of the snow this year. It looks like its the perfect time to come view waterfalls and raging rivers...but maybe not the perfect time to hike. No surprise...number one on my list was the Half Dome hike.
