I am planning a backpacking trip, which is to include waterwheel falls on the first day and we are not sure where to go next. We want to stay north; seems to be less populated and we seek solitude. I was thinking going north of hetch hetchy and around the west end. This looks like a 4 nighter to me? Any other ideas? Like maybe further north from waterwheel falls and then east and back south? I'd love any suggestions from peeps that have hiked the northern parts of the park. We are looking at anywhere from 8-14 miles in one day. We are after beauty, not necessarily putting on miles....
I have never been to Yosemite and am basing all my knowledge off of one book and a topo map. We will be hiking in September. I also am wondering why I am having such a tough time finding information about this region of the park. Does this have anything to do with quality of the northern parts or that the basic drone-people are drawn to all the domes in the south part, where peeps don't have to actually walk to see anything...
Sincerely, I thank you for any advice.
