Quoteparklover There was a Tesla stopped in the long line of traffic and we wondered if it had run out of electricity before it made it to the valley. According to my understanding, electric cars don't use battery power just sitting in line. They only use it while moving. And most electric cars use regenerative braking where the electric motors work in reverse to slow the car and charge the batby The Other Tom - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

QuoteYosemitegirl I have an extenuating circumstance. They don't normally allow a swap. So, will someone please respond? Hey Yosemitegirl, Most of the people on this forum tend to be backpackers and don't stay in the HSC's. I appreciate your situation but it would be rare if someone reading this forum had the dates you were looking for. Never hurts to try but at this point your post has beenby The Other Tom - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
I like the sans dome one. Very coolby The Other Tom - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Oh, and make sure you acclimate before you start your hike to Vogelsang. Everybody is different but I've been in the "dining room" at Vogelsang on more than one occasion and have seen people get up and leave because they were nauseated from altitude sickness. We try to spend a couple of days in Tuolumne Meadows before going to Vogelsang. Used to be, if you had Vogelsang reservations,by The Other Tom - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Quoteapetel Thanks! We actually do have a reservation for the HSC. Now I'm thinking that even two days would be fun. Is it Vogelsang Pass that is tricky/risky or Vogelsang Peak? Thanks for all of the hiking tips. I'm not much of a climber, so to me the peak would be tricky/risky. The pass is no problem.by The Other Tom - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Welcome to the forum! I assume you're backpacking? It's very difficult to get a reservation at the camps, but once you have your wilderness permit you can request a "meals only" plan at the camp if you're so inclined. It's a bit pricey but you don't have to take so much food or worry about preparation. Assuming your kids like outdoor stuff, I would recommend at least two nightsby The Other Tom - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Quotechick-on So, how many times zones is that west of Yosemite? (for teen) ? Should be for teen unless you consider the international date lineby The Other Tom - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Nice report. Thanks for sharing. You live 10 time zones east of Yosemite? That almost puts you half way around the world. And you've been there 11 times? Wow! Good Job!by The Other Tom - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Most people wouldn't even notice that. Thanks for the artistic eye and sharing.by The Other Tom - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
