Hey everyone,
My girlfriend and I are going to be setting out on a 4 nighter in the Yosemite back country in September. Our starting trailhead is Rafferty Creek->Vogelsang and our tentative ending one is Cathedral Lakes. I have our camps for the night as follows:
- Night 1: Vogelsang HSC area, which can mean camping near Boothe Lake or along Rafferty Creek, or Bernice Lake if we're feeling ambitious.
- Night 2: Merced Lake HSC area, or near Washburn Lake or other direction toward Echo Valley.
- Night 3: Below Clouds Rest. I've seen posts on other websites on good areas to camp near Clouds Rest. We're planning to climb it the next morning.
- Night 4: Sunrise Lakes. Camps somewhere near one of the lakes.
Now I know you have to camp in designated areas at the HSCs but I just listed them as a general area to stop at. So based on those camps, y'all kinda get the route we're going. So just curious if anyone with more Yosemite experience can give me any information on water availability throughout the trip, is this a solid route, should we do X instead of Y...etc.
Any information is gladly appreciated!
