Visiting Yosemite for 5 days
Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2016 3:18 am
Hi guys,
I'm visiting Yosemite this year from August 12th-16th and have a few questions.
I've been using http://www.yosemitehikes.com/ and have found it very helpful.
At the moment, I'm staying in Fresno and will be driving up everyday for day hikes.
I'm doing this on my own so I wouldn't mind meeting up with like minded people.
At the moment, theses are the hikes I'm interested in:
- Half dome (I've already read other posts on here saying to choose a different trail due to the numbers; also depends if I can get a permit)
- Pohono (looks awesome! This is the one I'm most looking forward to)
- Upper Yosemite Falls
I haven't mentioned Mist as this will be done in the Half Dome trail and I haven't mentioned Four Mile as it appears it would be similar to Pohono as they both start/finish up at Glacier Point. Would you say this is true?
Here are my questions (keep in mind I'm from Australia):
Are bears an issue?
Any recommendations on how to do the Pohono Trail? It seems return transport is an issue.
Any recommended trails?
I've heard Cloud Rest is better than Half Dome. Is the walk interesting on the way, or is it all just about the summit?
Thanks!
