Hi -
I've dayhiked a little bit in Yosemite (Eagle Peak, Nevada Falls, 4 mile trail). I'm looking at heading out there with my college roommate in early september of this year and taking 5 or 6 nights on the trail. From my reading of the NPS page, the bus didn't seem like it would be running.
The loops I was considering was:
1) The High Sierra Loop
2) to Glen Aulin down to Little Yosemite valley then back up
3) Little Yosemite Valley to Merced Lake to Red Peak Pass and around Illilouete Creek back to the valley
4) Glacier POint to Buckcamp
5) A few Hetch Hetchy options
What do you think? I've done some rocky mountain backpacking before and a lot of the Appalachian Trail (where I often do 12 - 14 mile days, here generally 10 or so). Any advice, recomendations, trips I haven't considered?
Thanks and peace!
