Hi, I have a question in particular to this section of the trail. I was able to find the trail head and the first sections of the hike pretty easily but had to cut the hike short due to darkness. When reaching this point, do I just head straight up the trail and from there in what direction does the trail go in?by limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I thought this was interesting as the plaque seems to suggest that the road was at first a public thoroughfare and at lest is counter to the notion that the road at first was a toll road. Pictures of Old Coulterville Road to Yosemiteby limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Read your comment on how crowded the sites are. I find that the further you get from the River/Front Entrance/Facilities, the better the sites are.by limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Curry Village Each tent cabin at Curry Village has a locker; locker size depends on tent cabin size. If three or fewer people are staying in one tent cabin, the locker size is 20.5 inches deep by 35½ inches wide by 23 inches high (52 cm x 90 cm x 58 cm). If four or five are people staying in one tent cabin, the locker size is 20½ inches deep by 47½ inches wide by 23 inches high (52 cm x 120by limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

stayed in a signature tent in the middle of winter in the snow. I think there warmer than canvas only tents. Used a wool blanket to cover the door and one on the window to prevent heat from escaping and cold air from entering. They're made of canvas and not very air tight. Actually insulation is non existent. One negative is that you have to walk to the bathrooms but we solved that by briby limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I wouldn't leave the cooler in your car even an empty one as just the sight of a cooler might temp a bear to break in. Rather leave the cooler opened with the top jarred open out in the open. Please note that if you arrive at your campsite and your cooler is too big you can always go to the ranger station and ask to borrow a cooler to use. This happened to me, cooler too big to fit in the box,by limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I think the lockers are less than 18" tall eventhough the stated size is 18". I have a cooler w/ wheels " brand Igloo" and it measures 18" or less and didn't fit inside the Parks locker.by limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I was on the trail up to HD July 5th and spoke to the ranger at the ticket check-point ( HD Trail/JMT Trail? ) and I asked where the nearest location was for water. He mentioned two spots, down to the merced river and another spot, a spring, just up from the check-point about about 5-6 switchbacks up or about 200 yards. I have a picture of the spot but need help posting it. To find the locby limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Initially we were planning on leaveing from the valley and head to HD if for no other reason than to not be away from the family and thus hiking at night when the kids are asleep. Sunset would be nice but than who'll cook dinner? But from what you're telling me than the lighting looking west is best around 8am. That's great stuff and now I get Chick-ON recommendation in regards to summitinby limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi, I found your earlier post on 1/4 domes .....head straight down rather than taking the switchbacks....got it. Do you happen to know the time it takes to travel form Clouds rest to the cables on Half Dome? I'm trying to beat the crowd going up the cables and figure that the line will start forming around 11am.

Trying to get a comparison of the trail rides from both Toulumne Meadows Stable and the Valley Stable. We did the 2-hour ride from Toulumne Stable and wish we would have chosen the Half Day ride instead. Is this worth it or is the valley half day ride better? Or are the full day rides the way to go?by limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi thanks for the reply back. Just to be clear. We have some in our party that are intent of doing Half Dome. Clouds Rest is my idea. Also Half Dome and seeing the sunrise from there is not a requirement. But I would very much like to do at least one sunrise from some location in Yosemite ( Mt Dana would be nice but not sure on this hike ). So here are my basic requirements: 1.

Hi, Comparing your two hike experiences, Valley to HD back to Valley and Toulumne to Valley. How beat up were you comparing one to the other? I know I was pretty tired my first time (not in shape) when I did HD at night. The issue was that I like to drive at night ( i have little kids and can get to my destination quicker w/ the kids asleep i.e. no potty breaks ) and arrived into the valleby limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Hi, I'll be staying in Yosemite during July 4th week and snagged a few sites in Toulumne Meadows and a single day in the valley. We also snagged tickets for Half dome cables and are planning on summitting the dome at dawn. While trying to figure out how we could coordinate leaving from the valley and returning to Toulumne at night I came upon a website that suggested hiking from Tenaya Lakeby limonjelly - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
