is this feasible?

[nyscarrot]

My family is visiting Yosemite in early July. We have a wilderness permit for 5 nights, entering at TM to Vogelsang and exiting at Happy Isles. Here's my plan - is it a good one? is it feasible? could it be improved? is it safe to count on finding a campsite along Sunrise Creek where the CRT and JMT intersect? (I've read here that sites exist.) Day 1 - hike to Vogelsang/camp at Booth Lake. Day 2 - hike Fletcher Creek Trail to Merced Lake/camp at Merced Lake. Day 3 - Hike High Trail to JMT/camp at Sunrise Creek. Day 4 - hike Clouds Rest loop (11 miles - w/o packs)/camp at Sunrise Creek. Day 5 - hike Sunrise Lake loop (11.6 miles - w/o packs)/camp at Sunrise Creek. Day 6 - hike to Happy Isles.
My strong teenaged sons (age 18 and 19) would like to climb some peaks - which ones are worth doing in the region and are there trails to these? Fletcher, Vogelsang, Rafferty? Which trail to Merced is more scenic - Fletcher or Lewis Creek? Which is the best direction to hike CR loop? Is the loop to Sunrise Lakes worth the trip - either via JMT and along Cathedral Fork trail (14.6 miles) or JMT and trail from Tenaya Lake (11.6 miles)? We are a reasonably fit family of 3 teens and parents in their 50's who are experienced backpackers. Thanks so much.

Sounds like you did your homework already. It's a good plan.
(although I'd stay at Fletcher before Boothe)

Everything is worth it.

Go up to Vogelsang Pass at least... then pick Fletcher or Lewis. Both excellent.

Vogelsang Peak
Tenaya Peak

Your boys should do those.

Have fun

I prefer Lewis Creek over Fletcher Creek--it is less crowded and has more waterfalls. Fletcher is slightly shorter.

There's plenty of camping at SunriseCreek/CRT/JMT. It's not a crowded campground like Little Yosemite Valley campground.

Peaks? You'll get a great view on top of Clouds Rest. Some peaks around Vogelsang, but haven't tried them.
