I am planning my very first trip to Yosemite (yeay!!!) this summer (July) and came across this forum. I spend some time on the internet trying to come up with an itinerary that would allow me to see some of the wilderness over 4-6 days while avoiding crowds as much as possible. Distance is not a problem as I do backpack often so a 40-50 miles trip is not an unusual occurrence. I would prefer to do between 7-10 miles a day to allow for frequent stops to take photos and take in the beauty of that place.
With that said, the one landmark I will visit for sure is Half Dome (I guess I will not be alone there LOL) but other than that I am open to suggestions and would welcome any help you can provide in planning this trip.
Thanks!!!
