I hiked in 2018, so verify all this:
-
You're talking about the week of lotto? I'm not sure because I was able to get permits. There was a chart online with how likely you were to get a spot based on specific days.
-
Probably not totally advised, but on the day I hiked, the marshall wasn't checking permits at the cables (maybe they showed up later in the day)
-
Crane Flat campground
-
Yeah, lots of parking at the trailhead because you'll be starting in the early hours of the morning before the tourists arrive.
Bring gloves for the cables!

I’ve always wanted to climb in this region but getting caught in bad weather (which is all the time) is a potential death sentence

Beautiful! It’s one of my favourite places on earth. So quiet and peaceful in the winter.

Can I ask questions? Tryna get my half dome on later this year.
-
If I enter the lotto for 3-4 days later in the year, is there any indication how likely I am to get a spot?
-
Does speed of entry on the lotto change anything? Like first come first serve?
-
Where did you stay?
-
If you can't stay very near, is there ample parking near any sort of trailheads to get started on the trail?

I love how reflective and clear the water is in Yosemite.

Agreed. My stomach did a flip flop just looking at the photo.

My sister, cousins and I used to float down Henry's Fork on inner tubes when we were kids. Such great memories.

One of the coolest facts I've learned about the Snake River Valley is that it was actually formed by the ancient pathway of the super volcano that now resides under Yellowstone. Took several millions of years of tectonic shift but somehow seeing the path makes it a little more easy to comprehend.
Beautiful picture btw!

Nice experience though! I was able to do mist trail up Vernal Fall in three different seasons: spring with my mom, summer with my brother, and autumn with my wife.
I remember still using a non-weatherproof Fujifilm camera during my first two trips and being worried more than half the time. Still would gladly do it again.

My wife and I did the mist trail and luckily someone told us the day before to get a poncho lol.
Half of the people coming down were soaked

Is anyone interested in going there this summer? We tried some hiking in the Bisti, in very early June, and it was still too windy. Great pic of the Alien Throne!

That sounds like quite the trip! Got photos to share?
This was taken on the Sentinel Drive bridge connecting Southside and Northside Drives. Super easy to get to!

I love the Merced. I did a 27 mile trip starting in Toulumne and ending in the Valley. Absolutely spectacular. Once you get out of the touristy areas, the park feels glorious. How close to little Yosemite campground is this? I'm assuming this is near the top of Nevada falls coming up the JMT?
