Yosemite Stores

[Osine]

Hi, what are the stores like in Yosemite? Are they mostly for non-hiking tourists or are they helpful to backpackers? Specifically I'm wondering about Mountain House meals and Jetboil fuel. Thanks!

There are stores in the village, at Curry Village, and at Tuolumne Meadows. The one in Yosemite Village looks like an REI - tents, clothing, stoves, and shoes. I do seem to remember shelves of fuel, but I've also heard folks have gotten there to find they are out of canisters. The best bet is the sport store in Yosemite Village.

If you are coming from a good distance by plane and can't bring your own, I would pick up fuel on the way to the park, in Merced, Oakhurst or Fresno.
