Hello NEW HERE TRYING TO PLAN FIRST TRIP (AUG, 13-19)
Two of my friends and I are talking about making a pop trip to Yosemite i'm trying to see if it'll work out. I have a couple questions
1. How fast are first come first serve wilderness permits taken for half dome Early Week (mon-wed). We are talking about flying from ohio to LAX renting a car and driving up to backpack for 5 nights.
If i get there at 6pm and i stand in front of the permit station would i have a shot at getting 3 of the 25 walk up permits for half dome?
and would that permit allow me to camp 2 nights if need be??
How early would you recomend
2. What trails would we good to backpack on weather 1 loop or several trails camping on different ones each day. Getting confused on all the lottery's and reservations
MY FEAR, we go through all the effort to get up there and we don't have any place to camp. is there always "something" to camp on preferable on the trail with a wilderness permit
Sorry for the stupid questions
