Backpacking & Camping for 3 for 2 nights. Advice?
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2015 11:31 pm
Hello!
My name is Chris, and my brother, friend, and I are backpacking Yosemite next week. We are all in pretty good shape. I've been planning it out for the last 5 months, and we want to backpack the Panorama trail starting from the valley and up to Glacier point and coming down the four mile trail. In checking the weather, I know one night may be snowing, but we are prepped for it. However, I have a question about the camping.
I've done some trips to Big Sur & Joshua Tree where I hiked a trail with my backpack, only to find no where to camp off trail and wasting a lot of breath. Is anyone familiar with Panorama Trail and if it is a good 2-night hike? The plan is to arrive sunday, camp at a campground sunday night, hike monday and stay on the trail that night, hike down tuesday and either stay again on the trail or stay at back at our campground. Is that a good recommendation?
If not, do you have other good recommendations from the Valley that offer scenic views and camp-able trails? Thanks so much!
