Serious Hike for Inexperienced Hikers
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2010 4:08 pm
Hi all,
My friends and I are looking to do a serious week long hike through Yosemite. We are in our mid 20s and relatively fit, but are inexperienced hikers. Are we crazy to attempt this? Our intention is to do the week long hike in mid-September.
I am dying to get out there and would really appreciate any advice for us.
1. Can you guys please recommend a challenging, yet do-able 6-7 day trail?
2. If we sleep along the trail, do we need permits each night? Can we pitch our tents anywhere?
Thanks in advance for the help and advice.
