I watched the special after I saw her there. Her show show's her driving to the valley. She got the shots then flew in on a helicopter, a day early so she didn't have clearance and the park officials were pissed. Then the whole generator fiasco, I called the rangers at 1000 because they had five generators running and the whole forest lit up. Once they were done shooting they all went to theby Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I hope Oprah doesn't show up this time and ruin my stay like last time. Her little special didn't show the five generators running or all of the big lights strung through the trees. She didn't even stay in the campsite after annoying the heck out of a lot of us, they tore out of there at 1030 and went to the Ahwahnee.by Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Way more people are killed each year by stupid asshats behind the wheel of their cars than by guns and do we see people losing their driving "privilege" because they are a danger? Most of the time no. I agree that if you outlaw guns only the criminals will have guns, and not meaning because they have a gun the are criminals... I was educated about guns when I was young and had myby Wickett - General Discussion
I might be able to get some of the Hi rez ones that need to stay that way posted on my friends site and give you guys the link so we can distribute them. On one of my last trips I found myself with one of the old maps exploring the indian caves, locating the iron springs (which I had walked by plenty of times and never knew it), the spider caves, and some other tidbits.

I got my first choice for the end of May. Me and the wife were both on our laptop's clicking away. I know a lot of the time I don't get what I want. That is why I get so mad when I see them on eBay and Craigslist for sale... I also remember last year, a little red script appeared at the top saying the inventory was no longer available but the big graphic showed big A's for available, soby Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

I use my hammock everywhere in Yose, every time I have been above the tree level, the trees aren't too far away. If I know I am going above and staying there I bring some of my smaller C4 cams, they work great as Yose has lots o granite ; ) I have been thinking about getting the under-quilt and top-quilt for my hammock but I just got the sheet for my thermarest prolite and sleep directly onby Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Thanks for all of the tips and advice guys. I have done the whole run a lot, often leading parties of about 6 people through. I just normally do it in September and October. I did three trips through Tenaya this year. Those black flies can be horrible! I bought a head net just for the trek from the inner gorge to the Mirror lake trail. The poison oak was everywhere in september, it waby Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thanks for all the info Bill! I normally do airplane gully. The first trip I did into the Canyon was in 2009 when Tioga road was closed due to the fire. We backpacked from the Valley to Tenaya lake and went down Pywiack Cascade with full packs, not something I ever want to do again! Maybe I will fly over it the week before I go and check it out. My other "want to do" is the Snakeby Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I have come across some pictures of others doing the rappels in what I would consider epic conditions. The photo below was uploaded on June 6th 2008 so I was thinking that they went shortly before that. I would do the canyon if it was like this. I would like to speak to someone who has done it just to get the inside knowledge. A wilder canyon would be phenomenal!by Wickett - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hey guys, I have been over at www.yosemite.ca.us for a while and bill-e-g got me to migrate over here... Anyways, I normally do several Tenaya Canyon day trips in September and October each year. I start at Tenaya lake and go to the Valley. I will be leaving California in July and I would like to do one last run before I leave. How is the water level during the summer? Anyone done it?
