THIS TRIP IS MORE THAN FULL! I COULD ONLY TAKE 12 PEOPLE PER PERMIT BUT I OVER 2 PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. STILL THERE IS 20 PEOPLE ON WAITLIST!

THIS IS WHAT I POST:

I am planning arrive Yosemite on Wednesday 5/21 day or night to get our permit for wildness backpacking trip on 5/23 friday. I also reserved a campsite at WAWONA campground for both night 5/21 to 5/23 on end the Loop A camp 30 next to parking lot. Easy to drive from HWY 41.

Proposed itinerary, subject to change:

5/23 Hike from Happy Isles to Little Yosemite Valley Appx. 3 miles and camp! Rest people go hike with me to Half Dome and back and meet up with people who comes in Friday!!!

5/24 Backpacking trip from Little Yosemite Valley to Sunrise campsite ( our base camp) Appx. 9.5 miles. with elevation gain from 4000ft to 9500 expecting snow at campground.

5/25 long hike loop from campsite to Tuolumne Meadows and back.

5/26 Backpaking loop back to our car

It would be $5/pp/nite. Total $20. I am asking for $20 Deposit when you sign up with in 1 week! Deposit is non-refundable after 4/25. Otherwise you might have to find someone on waitlist to replace your spot. You could either send it to my p.o.box or My PayPal account (would mail you later).

Deposit is using for Camp fee, permit fee and other assoiated funding for the group! After deduction, would be refund rest to group! Thank you!

we could arrange car-pooling!

MY LAST TRIP TO YOSEMITE WAS A BLAST! SEE THE CLIPS:

Yes, it was a bit on snow due to we hike behind El Cap and mostly where sun hardly hit there! But actually wasn't cold at all.....early May

THIS TIME WOULD BE WARMER AND WE ARE GOING MUCH FAST PACE SINCE MOST OF PEOPLE WHO SIGN-UP ARE QUIT EXPERIENCE WITH LONG DAY HIKING! WE ARE PLANNED TO COVER CLOSE TO 55 MILES ON 3 DAYS HIKE....WITH GREAT VIEW OF YOSEMITE! FROM VALLEY TO SUNRISE CAMP TO TUOLUMINE MEADOWS, LEMBERT DOME, CATHEDRAL, UNICORN PEAK AND PARTIAL TIOGA ROAD AND LOOP BACK TO SUNRISE! ONE DAY HALF DOME WHILE WAIT FOR FEW PEOPLE OT JOIN US!
I'D WRITE YOU A REPORT PLUS PHOTOS AFTER THAT!
