Planning our first visit to Yosemite. We need advice on our first backpacking night.
We´d like to hike in mid-June ( hoping the backpackers shuttle will run) from Tuolumne meadows to Clouds Rest and then to Yosemite Valley, spending one night anywhere along the route.
The only thing I´m worried about is that we don´t want to be awakened by a bear in the middle of the night. If we use the bear canister and proper food storage we shouldn´t have any problem, should we? ( perhaps it could be a great story to tell but don´t want my 9 years old son to have such an experience like this: "Bear attack and the value of pepper spray", you can type it in a search engine to read it, can´t add the link. They didn´t make proper food storage, but this story is frightening.
We appreciate any tips.
Regards.
