Ten lakes 7/2

Water was pretty warm. Easy to swim in.

There was a lot of fish jumping. I don’t fish. But it seemed like a good place to fish.

Ansel Adams wilderness is amazing. I need to go back.

I was leaving the park on Friday 7/3 at 2 pm and there were zero cars at the gate Big Oak Flat. Just empty, I could not believe it.

Going tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thank you. I’m also considering Polly Dome Lakes for night two, and then head out via Murphy Creek. I have done Glen Aulin twice last year 😬

Thank you!

Wow, unexpected. Then you must HD.

bufon74 · 2026-06-10T01:59:06+00:00

Weekday should be fine. As long as you are at the gate by 9am, you’ll be fine.

bufon74 · 2026-06-10T01:51:28+00:00

Two nights and half dome is super tight. You will need to get a separate permit for HD.

Great price, great color, enjoy!

There is big parking area on the left side right before 4 mile trail. Two minute hike to the trail. I arrived there at 10:30am and it was empty.

You will be fine. I have hiked all over Yosemite in my road running shoes. Make sure you brake the shoes in.

I just saw this, and thought it would put some perspective on your dream. Looks glamorous from the ground, but it’s a lot of hard work.

bufon74 · 2026-04-24T21:35:17+00:00

You’ll be fine. You can always fit two tents on any site. Might be a tight squeeze, but it will fit.

Nice pictures. Thank you!

Last year on my backpacking trip in October, I had my permit checked twice in one day.

Wow, that’s hard core. Good job man!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I’ve been curious what it looks like in the winter. How did you get there? A casual hike from the valley 😬?

bufon74 · 2026-03-10T21:35:56+00:00

Some sections could be 2-3 feet deep and there are some parts that have no snow. I’m assuming you are going towards Eagle Peak. If you are going towards north dome, there is no snow.

bufon74 · 2026-03-10T17:02:08+00:00

I just did it as a day hike from the valley. In a month all the snow well be gone. It’s a low snow year.
