Looking for route suggestions
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:08 pm
I'm trying to figure out how to spend about 4 days packing in Yosemite.
A few weeks ago, my wife and took a 3 day trip. We started at Yosemite Creek campground and hike to near the el cap/eagle peak junction and camped. The next day we hiked to the top of the falls, back to our campsite and then back towards the campground. Because we had the luxury of time we spent one more night before coming back out.
We're in average shape but neither have "knees of iron" so we try to keep it under 5-7 miles a day depending on terrain.
Any suggestions?
Not for this trip, but I've always been curious what the trail from Olmsted to the valley is like. It looks like a wicked collection of switchbacks down the canyon. Is it hikeable or does it require gear?
Thanks!
