Okay thanks. Again, I'm not trying to break any rules or anything and we are more than happy to enter on the high trail like our permit says and be on our way. I just thought since we were going to...

We have a permit going in on the high trail trailhead and then up to Tuolumne Meadows and then over to Happy Isles. We want to go to devil's postpile before we head out, but I was curious how they...

I dont think I said there was anything wrong with the conditions, just that it was rough. Less than ideal, but defiantly better than the best day at work like you said! The teton crest is a great...

Oops, last line should have read "lots of hail, rain, and taking one step forward and sliding two backwards in the mud."

We did the Teton Crest last year around 4th of July and it rained the entire time. The last night we actually cut out a little early because snow was coming. It was some of the best scenery I have...

It's sad that someone lost their life, but I agree with others that while at the GC I saw people doing some of the stupidest stuff I have ever seen. We were eating lunch at the Phoenix restaurant...

Woh, sorry I'm a little late on the pickup of this thread. Never thought I would see it again!! lol We did make the trip and it was great! In fact I almost ran the route again this year but the...

Thanks wornoutboots I'll have to check the mileage on that but seems like it would be further than our current plan. Which is...

So I think everyone agrees on the timeline below. I'm struggling...

Thanks everyone. This is very helpful. I'm going to dig into the maps with the different suggestions and see what the rest of the group wants to do too. Sounds like there are plenty of buses to...

That's exactly what I was thinking. I know you can spend a ton of times at any of these locations, but we are just looking for the best of the best. We went to Yellowstone and the Tetons last...

My only concern with the JMT is getting back to the car either way. Other than a shuttle service is there any other option?

Yeah MuddyWaters, it's pretty daunting to narrow it down since we have...

Looking for some advice on a backpacking Yosemite trip were trying to put together for the summer. With permits going on sale in a month or so for July trips it's time to get going! The basics are...

Enjoyed it as well. Hope the trips keep coming. Thanks and good luck.

I guess it depends on what you value more - the hassle free planning or the better scenery. SNP is nice, but you're never very far from skyline drive which never gives you the feel that you're out...

As long as you are in the Taylor County Forest you can camp anywhere you want. I don't know how far you are going or which direction, but there are also campsites at Wood Lake County Park.

Cool. Maybe we'll see you out there! Yeah I've been digging through all the maps on the site and have the Top Trails book for the park. We're leaning towards the Old Rag area, but just don't know...

With conditions in the 50s the next week or so (at least at the lower elevations) does anyone know what trail conditions are like in the park? Looking for somewhere to do anywhere between 1-3 nights...

Ditto. I take my entire family to Wisconsin at least 2 times a month so I can hike and they can visit parks, beaches, and other tourist places on days when I'm walking the 500+ miles of roads. ...

You can park at Clingman's dome and at Newfound Gap, so if it helps you plan and limit your miles you can always just drive to Clingman's, check out the views, get back in the car and drive back down...

Litter. Graffiti. Dogs. Loud/large groups.

I saw that too. With a trip planned to stop at Bandlands and Wind Caves this summer on our way to Yellowstone it was a bit of bummer. Of course I don't put much stock in a yahoo article. I hate...

Wow, that looks terrible... Like the one site says in the book they are around 44 - not in their 70s. So much of what I enjoyed about the book was Bryson's writing and the way he told the story. ...

lol Ah.... I didn't even catch that one! But you are right on that!!! Now way in hell anyone is running anywhere.

Finally got to watch it this weekend. It wasn't as good as the book - I think they left out some really good parts. But they made Cheryl more likable I think. I HATED her in the book and they kind...
