I appreciate you posting this, as it helped me find the Reddit page. We have a cabin reserved for September, and it will be interesting to see how this works since we'll be inside the park boundary and are staying longer than 7 days. Really hoping we will still be able to take this extended trip.by love2kwilt - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I practically had to be a stalker on the reservations page, but finally managed to get a second ticket to GP on the date we wanted to go (bought the other ticket over 2 weeks ago). The bus tours to GP are sold out for the week we are going! It must be because of all the media coverage of the roaring waterfalls. I've been to Yosemite dozens of times, but I've never hiked down Panorama and cannoby love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Oh, wow! Really glad I have a rain cover for my photo gear! Now thinking about some gaiters...by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
I just tried to make reservations for the 8:30 bus for the dates we want to go and neither date was available for 2 people! This is nearly 4 weeks from now! So, we have reservations for a 10:00 bus one day and an 8:30 bus on another day (we really don't want to wait that late in our trip, but we will just make it work if we have to). I guess I will be checking for an opening on the 8:30 bus onby love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
So awesome!by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Hahaha! That is far enough! Excellent! Thanks so much! QuoteJRinGeorgia OK, that's far enough:by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

QuoteDavidK42 Quotequmqats I've only been past this point once a long time ago, but I seem to remember its right there, like 10 feet off the trail. His exact phrase is "It's not entirely trivial to some/most to get to this spot..." This might mean that some people who are afraid of heights would have trouble, especially because there isn't a railing, and you're walking up to a cliff fby love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
chick-on, can you describe a bit more of what you meant by "it's not entirely trivial" to get to this spot? I've watched some videos of hiking the Panorama Trail, and most of these people don't even show Illilouette Fall - all they show is the bridge. Is it easy to miss getting to this lookout? Our main purpose of going this way is to see this waterfall along with all the other amaziby love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thank you so much for this info, plawrence. We do plan to take the early bus. This is very helpful. What we may do is reserve tickets for a date later in the week just in case we cannot go on the day we want to; then, if we do go on our planned day, we can cancel those tickets when we buy the ones for that day.by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thanks for the info. Regarding "not-Curry" - is this your way of not calling it by its new name?! I'll never stop calling it Curry Village, and that goes for all the other names that have been changed as well. :-)by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Amazing photo! I can't wait to finally see this in person!by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thank you! I was finally able to find the cancellation policy by going through the reservation screens as though I was going to purchase the tickets. It's 24 hours and appears to be without penalty/fee if cancelled at least that far in advance. It's going to be so beautiful and I can't wait to see Illilouette Fall after seeing your amazing photos, chick-on! ☺️by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
That view of Upper Yosemite Fall is spectacular! Brings back memories as to why that wasn't my favorite hike...endless switchbacks with the hot sun!by love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Looking for advice on the hikers’ bus to GP. My husband and I plan to take the bus to GP and hike back down to YV via Panorama/JMT. We’ve never taken the bus. Our trip will be mid June. Is it best to buy these tickets in advance since it’s peak season and the bus trips may sell out? Does anybody know the cancellation policy if we purchase tickets for different days and then cancel theby love2kwilt - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Wow, these are just stunning photos! We are finally going to see Illilouette from the Panorama Trail in June, but your vantage points in the gorge are just incredible! Thanks for posting!by love2kwilt - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Amazing photo! I have no desire to hike to the top of Upper Yosemite Fall again, but I really want to get to Oh My Gosh Point! Great work!by love2kwilt - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
