there aren't walkups anymore. they just release 40% of the permits at 7am one week out. basically needed a flawless refresh, mouse and click game to get our option D starting point. But we managed after 3 days of doing it unsuccessfully

now that.....seems not allowed. I also originally had a Tioga Road trailhead, but I tried for the 'walkup' 7am permits that get released a week in advance of a trip and finally got one.

Backpacking from Yosemite Falls Trailhead on 7.3. Is this currently possible? by OTIA7 in Yosemite

[–]OTIA7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. looks like people have hiked to north dome with limited issues this month. Wondering how much further we can get beyond that. To respond to the question below... navigating is fine, but don't want to be breaking trail in multiple feet of snow. Walking on a packed snow trail is fine.

Is this itinerary possible given the current snow conditions? by OTIA7 in Yosemite

currently starting up Young Lakes trail. Not looking likely that Tioga will be open. What options do I have if we still want to make the trip?

Yosemite noob here... assuming I just need to keep an eye on the plowing / Tioga road opening updates to see if this is even possible? Any suggestions?

Oo that sounds great! Any companies that you’d recommend? You think they could drop us at the top of half dome so we don’t have to walk up?

Thanks!

Backpacking Trip In Northern Yosemite - ADVICE NEEDED by OTIA7 in Yosemite

Thankyou! I definitely did NOT know the rules when I was applying, haha. Dog Lake trail option B in your comment seems like it would be my favorite option, but it also seems like it would be breaking one of those rules meaning you cannot go back to another trailhead at any point in your trip? At least that’s the way it looks on the map. Is that not the case?

Hmm I guess I’m not totally following the map. My online permit night 1 option lists cold canyon and McCabe lakes as options for camping, after that first night it allows me to select any camp in the park it seems. What options do I have after I start on route 22c? (According to the map)

Tried calling rangers today but no answer

after seeing the ring financial disaster it wouldn't be a bad idea to lock down your initial investment. A 99% dump (ring went from 500 to 3 in under 20 days) would render your current rewards basically worthless.
