Backpacking Yosemite | High Sierra Camp Loop

Yosemite National Park’s High Sierra Camp Loop offers a sampling of some of the Yosemite back country’s most beautiful sights including roaring waterfalls, meandering rivers, gurgling creeks, alpine lakes, granite slabs, meadows, towering pines, wildflowers, forested valleys and incredible mountain vistas of sharp peaked summits and rounded domes. The High Sierra Camp Loop consists of five historic camp locations originally established in the early 1900s, each featuring a backpacker’s campground with access to water and bearproof lockers. The lowest of the five camps is Merced Lake at 7,400 feet and the highest is Vogelsang at 10,100 feet. While there are multiple starting points for this hike, we started at the Glen Aulin trailhead in Tuolumne Meadows and hiked the 50-mile loop counter-clockwise over 5 wonderful days.
