If you backpack in the high country of Yosemite don't forget about the wilderness permits.

Yosemite Wilderness Permit Reservations

Please plan your trip before you make a reservation. It is your responsibility to research trails and trail conditions to decide which trip is right for you and your group. Park rangers will not plan your trip for you.

To make a reservation, you will need to know the name the permit will be under, mailing address, daytime telephone number, number of people, number of stock (horses, mules, llamas), start and end dates, beginning and ending trailheads, principal destination (to help clarify trailhead), method of payment ($5 plus $5/person): credit card, check, or money order.

Reservations are available up to 24 weeks (168 days) in advance when the wilderness permit reservation office is open (late November through September).

Wow! Great report and especially your photos. What a great way to do a multi-day trip - I like the part about having someone else do the cooking, too.

One of the most interesting and visually stunning trs I have seen. What a nice trip for you two and I say your wife has earned the right to a good meal and a bed made up for her living with spinal issues

I'm always amazed flying over Yosemite its striking from 30,000 ft that tells how vast that area is.
