We have scheduled nine trips of various difficulties. Trips 1 - 4 set out from Tioga Road and take the hiker through enchanted forests and verdant meadows with meandering streams dropping off into powerful, thundering waterfalls.
Some trips are base camps, which enable groups to explore surrounding peaks and tributaries.
We will leave from San Diego at 6 p.m. Friday and return late Wednesday. Trip descriptions are below. Total distance is 31 miles. Geoff Smith and Camille Armstrong. This is a popular backpack from Porcupine Flat to a base camp on the wooded north rim of Yosemite Valley.
