After some research and some help from this board a few weeks ago, my wife and I have decided to complete the following hikes next week (Thursday through Sunday). What do you think about this itinerary? We are flying into SFO late Wednesday from New England so we will most likely have some jet lag. I am also assuming that the weather will be a bit cooler than average, but will get progressively warmer during our stay (from a high of 47 on Wednesday to 63 on Sunday). We are staying in West Yosemite.
Thursday Afternoon: Mariposa Grove-Looks to be an easy trail, which will probably be needed after a busy Wednesday and 3 hours of driving. Do you think we will have trouble finding parking at the South Entrance given Mariposa Grove Road is closed?
Friday: Lower and Upper Yosemite Falls-I figure this will be the best day to accomplish this hike; I assume this is one of the busier trails on Weekends. Do you think we can we get to Yosemite Point or will it be too icy?
Saturday-Mist Trail-I wanted to wait until weekend to complete this trail as the temps should get back into the 60's. Hopefully we will make it up to Nevada Falls! As long as we aren't soaked, we will probably try Inspiration Point Trail on the way home. I am assuming we can't get up to Stamford/Dewey Points; if we could I would complete it on Sunday.
Sunday- On our last day, we will probably hit whatever we missed on the Valley Floor in the morning then head to Hetch Hetchy for the day.
What do you think? Would you change anything?
