Hello All,
I've read through many other threads on this forum, and I think I've figured out a great backpack route over 3 days and 2 nights in late August. We have all been out in the back country a few times in our lives, but none of us are seasoned backpackers. I think I need some help finding legal camping spots.
My plan is to start at Mono Meadows, take the second fork of the Panorama Trail to the intersection of the John Muir Trail. Is it legal to camp on the JM Trail in the Vernal or Nevada Falls area? Preferably, we would camp around this area on the first night.
We would then take Forsyth Trail/Clouds Rest Trail up to the top of Clouds Rest and camp on top up there or somewhere down below (if necessary). On the third day, we would then hike out via Forsyth back to Tioga Road.
Is this a viable plan?
