Yes! Thank you! I will call the park and ask where exactly the drop off is so I can figure it out. Thank, and sorry for the trouble! It's my first time...by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thanks for you reply! I couldn't find a map form crane flat to the grove... That was my main issue. Do you know about any? Or do you know if this is very far? Thanks a lot, appreciate it! Ben.by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi there, I am going to Yosemite in July, without car and staying in Curry Village. I am trying to figure out how to get to Tuolumne Grove... I know there's a bus going to tuolumne meadows that stops at crane flat but how do I get from crane flat to the grove? Any ideas? (bus schedule: http://www.yosemitepark.com/tuolumne-meadows-tour.aspx) Thanks! benby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I better start reading some maps! Are there clear signs for that over there so I can decide on the spot?by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
That's what I was thinking too, but forgot to put it in the reply! Sorry!by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hey, I could try to do that! I'd have to check with my friend though. I know he isn't fond of getting kidnapped. (and according to him, that is what happens when you hitch a ride) Thanks! benby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I was just checking the Glacier and it sounds good! That's probably one thing to do! Are the roads back clearly marked? One thing I wouldn't want to do is get lost! (here I am worrying again! I'll be glad when I am there, haha!) Thank youby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi there, I will check with my friend. I live in San Diego but he is visiting from Belgium where I am originally from. And he is very insistent on seeing at least one sequoia tree. So I am trying to make it happen since, well he is my friend and I want him to enjoy his stay! I'll talk to him and check. He arrives on Saturday and on Sunday we are going to Yosemite. I am thinking maybe go to Tuoby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
You are all so kind, thank you! I'll make sure to bring some warm clothes as well. Does anyone have experience with that hiking and camping store? Can you buy sleeping bags over there? I had some but I want camping in Belgium and the weather was horrible and they... Well they are defective! So I'd rather buy them there than take them along on the plane and bus to the park. Thanks guys!by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thanks Chick-on, Haha, I would have probably bought one... I feel like such a noob! So much to learn! Thanks!by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hello everyone, Let me start off by saying this will be my last question! I promise! I feel embarrassed around all of you experts so I really hope I am not bothering you. I will be staying in Curry village in July. I am wondering if I will need a sleeping bag for the night? I'm staying in a heated tent but it will be turned off during the summer. I saw there is a hiking store nearby so I aby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi everyone, So I am not going to Mariposa because it is nearly impossible without a car but I am going to Tuolumne. A paid bus can drop us off at Crane Flat and apparently that's really close to the grove. Since the shuttle will leave at 9:10 and pick us back up at 3:30 I am wondering if there are any other hikes in that area that don't take too long. I rad that the Tuolumne (if that is eveby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thank you! Is there a way to go to Tuolumne grove or Mariposa to see the sequoias? I am honestly so confused. Thanks again. benby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi everyone, I have never been to Yosemite but I am going to be there for an entire week in the summer. (long story!) Anyway, I am staying at Curry Village since I can't bring a tent because I am flying and taking the bus etc... Do you guys have suggestions as to what hikes would be good for beginners? Needless to say I love beautiful views and falls. I am in pretty good shape, but I woulby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi there, Thanks a lot for that info! That should help me out! I think that for now I am going to book an earlier train then. I should land around 10:50 am and get the train at 12:05 pm. It's an 11 minute cab drive and I won't be taking any checked in bags. SO basically I just take a cab and swipe my credit card and get on the train. Should I be late, I can always catch the next one and see ifby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hey, Yes I figures that but the only problem is they only have two trains that connect with a bus. And the latest train would be one at 12:05 PM. And I have never been to Fresno airport so I would not know if I can get luggage and take a cab and get to the amtrak station on time. I have heard that baggage claim is a real pain in Fresno. I was thinking if I call them tomorrow and they can't helby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hey there, I sent them an email yesterday night but they only reply Mon-Fri at business hours so I am hoping to hear back on Monday or Tuesday. I will probably give them a call on Monday and check with what they say. Honestly I don't need a specific hour, just need to know if there is going to be a bus after 4:20. If not, I have to change the Amtrak to an earlier train. (but then it gets tightby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
hi there, I can't believe I forgot to mention that. I plan on leaving July 1 so their schedule for that month won't be up until May... So I don't know what to do really. Thanks Ben.by benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi there, I just found a link to their 2011 summer schedule. This DOES have the connection to curry village I described. (I knew I saw it somewhere ) http://www.yarts.com/schedule/2011/140summer2011REV080311.pdf Thanks. Benby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi there, Thank you for pointing that out! I hadn't even seen that! Appreciate that. The thing is that that is their winter schedule and according to a lady at the Merced center it will change to the summer schedule in May and there will be a bus at 5:20 PM. But I am not sure if that one will go to Curry. I better ask! I'll keep you posted. Thank you xxby benoit - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
