    Nice video BUT... at the 38:10 mark you show the map of the Tuolumne Grove trail and it shows Do Not Climb On Giant Sequoias. At the 43:00 mark there's Chesley climbing on the Fallen Giant. The waterfall you saw from the turnout at the 46:15 mark was Bridal Veil Falls.

      Sure thing, here's a biking map: www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/biking.htm We basically went from curry village > mirror lake > awhahnee meadow > awhahnee hotel > yosemite village > got lost > then biked back to curry village to return the bikes. We didn't have a clear route, we just biked where we wanted to and that was fun :) And yes I vlogged with an iphone!

      Hi, we went stargazing at Cook's Meadow, which is near Curry village and the campsite. Anywhere along the meadow loop is a great spot to stargaze. Have fun at Yosemite!

      Tuolumne Meadows is 60 to 75 minutes east of the Valley on Hwy 120.

    • @iriswoohoo
      @iriswoohoo  4 місяці тому

      Oh how fun! Do you mean gas canisters? We brought four full canisters just in case. I would say it's always better to bring extra/backups. If you're boiling water (e.g. making stews, soups, pasta, etc.) or using the stove for long periods of time, you should bring more than one canister.

    • @iriswoohoo
      @iriswoohoo  5 місяців тому +2

      With lots of hopes and prayers. Your best bet is to rally a group of friends to get up at 6:30am, open up a bunch of browser windows with campsites you want to snag, and have everyone smash that 'reserve' button the moment the time hits 7am sharp. You'll have to basically book it 5 months ahead -- right when the reservations system opens up.
