Hi, first trip to Yosemite late this Aug/early Sep. for my husband and I. This trip is to celebrate my 50th birthday. We were given two option:
1. one night each in TM, GA and ML
2. two nights in GA, and one in ML
The first option has the advantage of acclimation to altitude, but we'd only spend one night away from the road etc., from what I understand
The second option has 2 nights at GA which sounds great, but no acclimation, and we'd have to drive in from wherever we stay the night before which won't be as high up presumably.
We are about 50, in decent shape, but not used to altitude at all (we live in NJ). The falls at GA will be dry that time of year. Still worth it staying 2 nights at GA? Or better off acclimating at TM? Would love some feedback. Thanks!
