backpack camping bc image
Q. My husband and I are doing a road trip, and camping in Yosemite during the first week of June this year. We're from BC so we don't know what the weather will be like, busy times, etc...
Where would the best campground be for us? Just drive-in tent camping. The quieter, the better. Thanks! :)

Answer
All of the campsites in the Yosemite Valley have been reserved for months. There is nothing quiet about camping in the valley.
I like the Wawona Campground. It sits along the banks of a river.
Most of the campgrounds in the high country will still be closed in early June.
All times are busy times, but especially weekends.
I don't mean to sound overly negative, but Yosemite is no place for quiet and solitude unless you go backpacking. The waterfalls are spectacular in June. It is well worth a visit. Yosemite Valley is the most beautiful place in the world.

is it possible for a 19 year old guy to travel on his own through canada for about two month?
Louis
hey!
after Highschool I want to do backpacking through canada, but I am not sure if this is possible. Firstly, I am 19 years old only. Secondly, I'll travel on my own. I would so nice if there is somebody who might be able to help me and to give some advice.
Thank you so very much
Answer
Is it possible? Yes, of course. After age 18, you are considered an adult and can do as you please. If you are not Canadian, then you would need to be "allowed entry" by Canada Border Services. But as long as you can show that you have the money to pay for your trip, no criminal record, and you are staying less than six months, there should not be an issue.
What the CBSA is generally worried about is that you'll come to Canada and stay permanently. So they may want to see proof you have a place to go back to at the end of your visit. Something like a home address back in USA.
A trip to Canada for two months would cost $100-200 per day if you were staying in a motel or cheap hotel, eating at restaurants, and had to buy bus or train passes. You could get away with much less if you are staying in hostels or campgrounds and buying food at supermarkets instead of in fancy restaurants. So maybe $50 per day. So if we estimate...two months is roughly 60 days at $50 per day, so you need to show you have at least $3000 saved up to pay for your food and lodging, or perhaps a credit card with a high enough limit.
They will also want to know a rough idea of where you plan to travel while in the country. It helps if you overstay or if you go missing and they need to try and track you down. So you tell them backpacking across Canada, starting in a city X and expect to end in city Y.
My advice would be to bring an smart phone or touch pad with you on the trip. Something that you can use to keep in touch with people by Skype, Facebook, or email. Cellphone charges in Canada are expensive, and roaming charges will kill you, so find WiFi hotspots as much as possible. Places like Tim Hortons, McDonald's, and a few others all offer free internet connectivity to help you keep in touch.
How are you planning to get around? Car is expensive...gas prices are over $5 per gallon (1.30+ per litre) here in Canada. If you came by motorcycle that may be an option. If walking, then buy the VIA Rail train pass so you can hop on and off across Canada.

Travelling alone can be a little risky in today's society, which is really why I am recommending keeping in touch and using public transit where possible. Hitch-hiking may save money, but you never now who you are going to run into. Likewise, if you are walking through the back country across Canada or down some rural roads of BC or Alberta, you can come face to face with bears, wolves, moose, and other wild animals.
