Some things have changed so I thought i would set the stage again
Me and my friend are both 21 avid backpackers going on a 30 day roadtrip of the Western US. As of now we roll into the Yosemite area from the south via HWY-41 in the evening around August 1st (although we could arrange to arrive earlier if necessary), then we have 3 full days to backpack in the Park, and then the morning of Day 4 to take on last deep breath and then heading out Tioga Road to HWY 120 on our way to Bodie, and then Lake Tahoe.
SO... One of the main goals however cliche it is... is to hit Half Dome (we've heard some rumors of a sunrise approach, which I think would be amazing), my partner is really into waterfalls, and I'm a solitude is king kind of guy (which i know is going to be unfeasible for Yosemite in August, but the less crowded the better).
When I first started planning the trip i was all set to get permits the moment they became availible but my partner really wanted to maintain the spontaneity of the trip and not have any set dates outside of the end date so i obliged and we're going to try our hand at the 40% first come first serve permits. (
Do any of you fine people have any recommendations on a 3day trip that would meet our goals? Any and everything would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again
