Yosemite overnight possibly 2 backpacking
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 4:09 pm
Greetings Everyone!
I am new to this forum and just happened up on it doing some research on beta for Yosemite. I am going to be in the area for a wedding and decided that this trip will not go down unless I am able to get a trip to Yosemite in. I am looking at an overnight, possibly two night backpacking trip. If you were only given this amount of time in Yosemite, What trail or loop would you pick and why? I am really looking to see as much as possible in the short amount of time I have(which is unfortunate, but reality) and hit the cream of the crop on this trip. I am an AT thru hiker 3 years ago, and have done plenty of trail races and backpacking longer distances since. Mileage and elevation is no issue, so what would you pick? I have been eye balling the Cathedral Lakes to Happy isles via clouds rest, but i'm unsure if this is going to give me the best bang for my buck and the amount of time given this may not even be an option.. Thanks to all of you for any and all information.. I know there are so many awesome places to see in Yosemite that's its tough for me to really narrow it down, but just looking for the insiders assistance!
