Well, my original 9 day June 27th grand tour of the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River and high country north of Hetch Hetchy was scuttled when COVID-19 caused my company to take back a week-long office closure originality planned long before the virus.
So with Yosemite opening up in early June, I went into search and reserve mode for other trailheads over the 4th weekend (which I can get 5 days off for).
I ended up with a Sunrise Lakes permit and then a Glen Alun pass through permit became available recently for the same day and I grabbed it just in case. And now I just managed to get a Half Dome permit for the Sunrise Lakes permit, which I was hoping to do as part of that hike through the lottery.
So I could do either. Opinions on which to do?
The GCTR route would send me down into the canyon, then up and around returning through the ten lakes bowl. This likely would have to go to a 6th day unless I skip Ten Lakes and try to hitchhike back to TM (hard this year). Waater levels aren't too high, so the water crossings aren't supposed to be too bad.
The Sunrise Lakes would probably go over Clouds Rest, do Half Dome, then loop around through Echo Creek and back to Tenya Lake. The bonus for this is it would keep me from even considering going up Half Dome during my JMT hike in August.
So I guess I just need a push in the right direction.
