You lucky dog.by JamesMac - General Discussion
I don't mind getting passed by anyone on the trail. If I'm sucking wind and in the way, by all means shove me a side and carry on. If it happens to be a woman, great. If that woman is attractive, even better. To me its just motivation to stop being lazy and get in better shape. I especially love/envy seeing older people on the trails. Very inspiring.by JamesMac - General Discussion
I plan to do that trip late next month. Weather permitting. :/by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
QuoteDave It's graffiti. I knock them down whenever I see them inside the Park. There is a huge one on Tioga Road that's going to take several more trips. Do you knock them down even in back country. I always assumed it was kind of a friendly thing to keep others from getting lost. I don't agree with people doing it just to do it. If you need to stack rocks in Yosemite just for the sake of stacby JamesMac - General Discussion
Wow! I haven't been near Mirror Lake in years. Didn't even realize those stacks were there. I thought the article was going to talk about rock stacking in back country. I have no problem with that, sometimes in the middle of nowhere the trails are poorly Marked and the best way to navigate is to follow the rock stacks. As for as this Area near Mirror Lake, I think people are going overboardby JamesMac - General Discussion
Man that's scary. Just another reason I'd like to get into the NPS SAR. Hope he's safe and warm somewhere.by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I too like to have multiple resources to go to before I head out on an adventure. Thanks for your help.by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Which is exactly why rude responses like the one above are not always best to go by. Thank you for your input. Unfortunately it looks like I'll have to delay my trip a week Or so as I'll be going up to Washington on Wednesday. I'm sure there will be some snow Up there. And hopefully the Valley stays cold/wet enough for me to come enjoy my home Away from home.by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I notice that a lot on this forum. I don't live by the NPS websites because I don't know if its a more automated website or up to current conditions. Whatever, I just want some snow.by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Sounds fair to me. Was planning a trip for next weekend. Maybe I'll check it out. If that fails, Mist Trail is always good for me.by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Does anyone know if 4mile trail is closed? If so, is "closed" meaning restricted? Or is it more of a go at you're own risk?by JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thanks for the feedback. "Potential fire" was some fools who I'm assuming made a small cooking fire or something and didn't properly extinguish it. The entire ground was smoldering in a 10x10 area up to 12 inches deep in ground. Some guys called us over as we were making our way back toward white wolf asking us if we had extra water. Ended up refilling water bottles and even backpacks fby JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
How strict is the park as far as obtaining backcountry permits? I know they want to limit the amount of people in certain areas for preservation reasons, But could you get in serious trouble if you didn't get one? The reason I ask is because in September some friends and I did the Yosemite Creek trail from White Wolf campground to the top of the falls. By the time we reached the top of thby JamesMac - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
