I've been to yosemite before but mostly in a car, hiked for about half a mile to yosemite fall and always end up eating in some restaurant. That's probably not the best way to experience one of the best national park. So im planning on a 3 days backcountry hiking for the first time for a group of people.
This is the first time we try to make it happen. Though I'd like to say that we are reasonably fit, but I dont think we have had any experience surviving without the luxury of knowing a supermarket is near by (those yrs of top ramen in college has taught us nothing). So i am here for 2 reasons :
+ a recommendation for the hike :
Im open to anything. I fell in love with the lakes here. so im looking forward to hike along rivers, lakes , fishing ,etc ...
I've mapped a loop based on post i found here ... may be we can start out with that:
day 1 : lembert dome -> dog lake -> young lakes (camp next to the lake)
day 2 : playing around young lakes
day 3 : hike back to the trail head via the route west of the route on first day.
+ a recommendation for us :
What should we prepare mentally , what should we bring aside the neccessaries ?
Or should we just forget it and go to the nearest park , read this forum there so we can live vicariously through your experience ?
