which day hike in Yosemite Valley?
Posted: Sun Jul 04, 2010 4:58 pm
I'm hiking the JMT north to south, starting July 14, and my schedule includes a day in the Yosemite Valley before I start. I'm thinking I'd like to do a day hike that day to see some scenery (and possibly to pick up a tiny bit more altitude acclimatization to ease the transition as I head up to Tuolumne).
The three hikes I'm considering are:
- Glacier Point (possibly continuing up to Sentinel Dome -- is it worth bagging?)
- Pohono Trail up to around Dewey Point
- Tenaya Lake and Tuolumne Meadows Trail up to the valley rim
I've already done the Yosemite Falls trail, so I don't want to do it again on this trip.
By the criteria in the "rules for requesting trip advice" sticky, I guess I'm a level 3-4, want a class 1 day hike, and am mainly interested in scenery.
Thanks!
