That sounds great. Since we're arriving by train we plan on bringing all our food in marked bags/boxes and transporting it by shuttle when we go from one trailhead to another every few days. It sounds like the parking lot lockers will work best for us. We just booked our train from Chicago and will be in the park Wed, 5/18- Sun 6/5. I understand it varies from year to year, but will snowshoby tjs180 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I have a question about food storage I can't seem to find on any of the park sites: Me and my buddy plan on being in the park for three weeks or so and would like to bring in all of our food. Is there a place we could store a large sack of food and return after each 2-5 day trip out in the wilderness to fill up our bear canisters? I see there are food lockers but cant figure out if they areby tjs180 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Yeah i realized my question was a little vague. Thanks for the help, i understand now.by tjs180 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I took your advice and got the #206 map. It has really helped me get a good idea of the trails and terrain. I've been reading through the threads for the past month, but held off on asking any more questions until I got a job and was sure I can do the trip. One thing on the map I couldn't figure out is the shaded "no overnight camping" areas. If the trailheads are in that area,by tjs180 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Thanks VPW! I think ill try and reserve a Happy Isles-LYV for some time during the trip and look for walk-up permits the rest of the time (yes I am cheap!). Any idea as to a very detailed trail guide or map-pack I can buy? I would like to get a hold of one soon to become familiar with it. Thanks folks, any knowledge welcome!by tjs180 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hello folks! I'm heading to Yosemite by train the second week of May. The reason for this is because I have to be back in Chicago by mid-June, after which I won't be able to travel for a while, and I REALLY need to experience Yosemite. Otherwise I would probably push it back until more trails are open. I have some backpacking/camping experience (not in Yosemite) and love the outdoors regardleby tjs180 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
