My husband and I are hiking the GCT on August 13 - 15. With the drought, I'm worried about finding water sources. Has anyone been through that route recently? If so, what water sources are still available and where are they? How much water should I carry at any one time? What temperatures can we expect? I really appreciate your help.by aggie5976 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Is there any other recommended 4 day/3 night hikes around Tioga Road that would be less crowded? After some research, it looks like the route may be pretty crowded.by aggie5976 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I'm planning my husband's and I's first trip to Yosemite. I wanted to backpack from Glen Aulin to May lake to Sunrise Lakes to Cathedral Lakes back to Tuolumne in 4 days/3 nights. My husband and I are fast hikers so I think that is plenty of time. But I was wondering if it is possible to go from May lake to Sunrise Lakes? On the map, the route looks like it connects. I appreciate any advice.by aggie5976 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
