I am visiting Yosemite sept 26- ocotber 2nd by myself. I want to backpack around the whole time. Is this a good idea alone? or should I just bounce around between the first come first served camps, try to make friends and drive to my hikes every morning? I wanted to wake up in the middle of nowhere each morning to enjoy a sunrise at my camp..
also, how the permits work? I want to hike trails from Yosemite valley, glacier point, and the tioga pass/Tuolumne area.
Do I need a separate permit for each trailhead I will be sepnding the night on?
how do I figure out which trailheads would be best for the trails I want to hike?
Is that too broad? should I focus on only 1 or two areas?
I will have a rental car. where do I park for the week?
thanks! lots of questions, I know. trying to figure out the whole backpacking thing
