This is a current collection, as of November 2013, of all the trails I have backpacked in the Yosemite Area. I have been wanting to make this map for a while to see what ground we had covered – sometimes it feels like we have been all over, but there is still so much more to see! I have at least a few more future “planned” trips into the Vogelsang and Hetch Hetchy areas that I would love to take some friends or family along on the adventure.
If you are looking for a jumping off point for planning your own Yosemite hike then scroll down to the corresponding hikes to find information of pertinent trailheads, approximation distances, and links to my blogs that include maps, pictures, campsites, and on the trail musings.
