I have done a fair amount of backpacking before, my longest outing being a month on Trail Crew at Philmont in New Mexico. I have stayed at the Wawona, Yosemite Lodge, and Housekeeping Camp, but have not yet camped in the backcountry at Yosemite. My wife and I would like to start off with a one-night excursion. I'll be carrying our 2 1/2 year old on my back (I lugged her up to the top of Nevada falls last weekend), and my wife will have most of the gear.
We were thinking of doing this itinerary:
First day: Glacier Point -> Illilouette Creek
Second day: Illilouette Creek -> Happy Isles via Mist Trail
Does that seem like a good plan? Where would we likely camp the night before and the night after? Any other advice?
