Hi all. I'm looking for a suggested backpacking route for May 18-May 20.
2 nights seems ideal, but that isn't rigid.
I've car camped and hiked in Yosemite a few times before.
Last August, I hiked to upper Yosemite falls and LOVED it because of the waterfall-fed swimming up top.
I'm thinking of repeating that trail for the beginning of my trip, but I'm not sure where to go from there-- or if swimming is even possible in mid-May. Perhaps Half-Dome after that?
I will be traveling by myself. I have lots of experience hiking, car camping and a fair amount of backcountry camping experience.
I am capable of ascending 3k+ ft of elevation per day, and up for a challenge.
Also hoping not to get too destroyed by mosquitoes.
If anybody has any recommendations, I would be really grateful.
