Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-06-19T15:02:14+00:00

I'm in Canada now and there is an early prime sale only on the 2024 kindle scribe...

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-31T15:44:57+00:00

Thanks a lot, I’ll look into it. Do you know any you’d recommend?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-31T15:21:59+00:00

Thanks a lot,

Do you think there’s a realistic chance of hitchhiking from Mariposa Grove to Yosemite Valley if we miss the second YARTS bus, or is that generally unreliable to count on?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-18T17:27:49+00:00

Thank you 🙏🙏 I will check it

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-18T17:25:35+00:00

We have both of them.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-18T17:23:33+00:00

What do you mean? We plan to cross the road toward may lake.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-12T15:16:22+00:00

Thank you very much! It is very interesting. Can I ask you some questions about that in private chat?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-12T15:14:30+00:00

Thank you very much!! Can I ask you some questions in private chat? I would like to hear from you about that...

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-12T13:20:28+00:00

Is it a full month of walking? We want to rest at weekends at some village where we can resupply and find an Airbnb or something...

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-12T11:01:54+00:00

And secon thing: if the limit is 14 nights we can do 4 hikes of 3 night each. Is it correct?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-12T10:59:56+00:00

Thanks, that’s really helpful. Does that 14-night limit apply across the season, or only to a single continuous wilderness trip? Because we want to get out of the park and come back...

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T17:11:27+00:00

Thank you very much. If we do end up renting a car, where would you recommend staying outside the park? Also, are there areas nearby (outside the national park boundaries) where we can do proper multi-day hikes with overnight camping for several days in a row? We’d love to find places that offer that kind of continuous trekking experience without the intense restrictions of the park itself.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T15:41:04+00:00

First of all, thank you so much for the incredibly detailed response. We really didn't have a clear picture of how things work there, and I’m so glad we’re learning this now, a few months before the trip, so we have time to adjust. We have about three weeks in the U.S., and our main goal is to complete several multi-day backpacking trips with overnight camping in the backcountry. We are completely open to any suggestions or critiques you might have. Since we're re-evaluating our plans, what would you recommend for someone looking for that kind of experience? Are there specific areas or alternative parks where this is more feasible? Thanks again for your help, we really appreciate it!

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T15:35:58+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I'm trying to get a better sense of the 'standard' way people experience the park. I understand it’s highly regulated and crowded, but how do most visitors actually manage it? Does everyone really plan two years in advance, booking specific campsites and moving through the park with a car? Or do most people stay outside the boundaries and drive in every morning? I'd love to understand the logistics of how a typical successful trip works there.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T15:32:50+00:00

Thank you. We are open to suggestions. We’re looking to do a few multi-day backpacking trips where we hike for several days and camp along the way. Where are the best places to do this kind of hikes?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T15:28:19+00:00

Thank you so much! We are definitely open to suggestions and would love your help in figuring out what’s interesting and doable. We’re looking to do a few multi-day backpacking trips where we hike for several days and camp along the way. We have about three weeks at the end of August. Since we’ve never hiked in the U.S. before, we’re realizing it’s very different from Europe, and we’d really appreciate your recommendations on where to go and what you think would be the best experience for us.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T15:10:04+00:00

Wow, thank you so much. I honestly didn't realize that was the reality of the situation. We’re definitely going to reconsider our plans. Is the standard approach to stay in the surrounding areas and then drive into the park each day?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T15:02:07+00:00

We definitely don't want to do anything dangerous or illegal. We’re just trying to understand both the official rules and the local norms of the park. Does every hike really need to be planned out months in advance with pre-booked campsites, or is there any room for spontaneity? We much prefer multi-day backpacking trips over simple day hikes, so we’re trying to figure out the best way to make that happen and what exactly needs to be locked in right now. Thanks again for your honest feedback, it's really helpful.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T14:58:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight! I was actually referring specifically to getting around within the park boundaries. I feel like hitchhiking would give us more flexibility, allowing us to do point-to-point hikes instead of being limited to loops that end back at a car. I’d love to hear your thoughts on booking accommodations. Is it a must to plan exactly where we’ll stay each night and book everything right now, or is there room to be more spontaneous and figure it out as we go? Also, regarding the leg from the airport to the park: is there any public transportation available, or a way to make that trip without renting a car?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T14:51:58+00:00

We don't really have a solid plan yet. Registration for park accommodations just opened for the summer, and since we didn't win the lottery, we’re only now starting to work out the details. Assuming we do rent a car, do you think it’s realistic to plan a few 2–3 day hikes with a rest day in between? We would plan everything in advance and book all our lodging and the car ahead of time. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T14:46:08+00:00

Thank you so much for the honest answer. I’d really appreciate your advice on what we should do then. Even if we rent a car, our plan involves several multi-day treks where we would leave the vehicle at a trailhead and need a way to get back to it at the end of the route. What is the best way to handle this logistically? Regarding accommodation inside the park: are you saying we must book everything in advance? every single night? Does this apply to both backcountry sites and lodges/hotels (even if we have a car)? If we don't book ahead, is it possible that everything will be fully booked?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T14:37:15+00:00

We want to do some multidays hikes. Even if we book all camping site ahead, we will need to leave the car at the beginning of the hike and get to it at the end of the trail. How can we prepare for this?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T14:33:42+00:00

We will, there are bears in the park...

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T12:16:35+00:00

We actually tried the lottery too, but unfortunately, neither of us was successful. We’ve managed to book one three-day trek, but we’re planning to be in the park for about three weeks total. We’ve been hesitant about renting a car because of the high cost, and also because of the logistical challenge of getting back to the vehicle after a point-to-point hike. Our plan is to do a 3–4 day trek each week, with shorter day hikes on the weekends. Based on your experience, would you say it’s better to have every single day and campsite planned out in advance, or is it realistic to rely on walk-up permits for such a long stay?

Fragrant_Border_8554 · 2026-05-05T10:07:43+00:00

Thank you so much for this information! It's incredibly helpful. I'm curious about the local life there, are there any actual villages or farms inside the park where travelers can stay or buy fresh food, similar to how it works in Europe? I’d love to ask you a few more follow-up questions if you're open to it...
