backpack camping bc image
Q. I've got 1 night booked at a drive-in tent site (everything else is booked) and we have 4 more nights to fill at Yosemite. I know there's endless places to see at this place. I don't really know how it works in this park (we're coming from BC, never been to Yosemite before) does anyone have any tips / pointers / certain places you think are great for interior camping? Thanks!
Answer
You need a backcountry permit.
-------------------------------------------
Backpacker Magazine covered a four-day North Rim backpacking trip.

Try the Ten Lakes loop off Highway 120, Tioga Pass, start at the Ten Lakes Trailhead loop up and around Mt. Hoffman and come out at May Lake .
Do the Grand Canyon of the Toulumne, Toulumne Meadows down the canyon and climb out to White Wolf.
Start from Hetch Hetchy up to Lake Vernon and loop back through Tiltill Valley and past Rancheria Falls.
These are 3 good hikes that will make you feel like you did something and have a lot less traffic than trails originating in Yosemite Valley.
If you really want to be remote in Yosemite Park you can trailhead from the Shingle Springs Trailhead {also known as the Kibbie Lake Trailhead} on the east side of Cherry Lake in the very Northwest corner of the Park and go out Kibbie Ridge to Boundary Lake, or drop down into Cherry Creek Canyon at Lord Meadow and spend some time in the southern Emigrant Wilderness where there are even fewer people.

is it true that the bears are dangerous especially in this time of year?

Hi there me and my friends are planning to have a trip to BC.We'll be mostly camping in the woods.I've heard that there are heaps of black bears and grizzle bears in the area so I was told that we should be extremely cautious.anyways my question is aren't the bears supposed to be hibernating during the winter time?
what do you mean it's gonna be cold???? how cold would it be anyway? i heard that BC never gets cold as well as snow as the rest of the country, isn't it true?
Answer
Campgrounds arent open yet, sorry. In the interior its still sometimes about -2C at night, it was supposed to go down to that last night. We still have snow. We dont usually get a lot of snow but have this year and last year too. You wouldnt find dry wood for a campfire either, and there are restrictions on camping in areas outside designated campgrounds
Leave the bears alone and they will leave you alone, also a lot of bears dont fully hibernate.
Bears dont hunt humans and generally avoid them, UNLESS you have food in your campsite that they can smell and/or get access to. Store all food in your vehicle at night. If you are out hiking wear a bell on your backpack, talk loudly to each other. A bear will hear you coming and it will do the other way, they dont really want an encounter with you anymore than you do with them.
An exception is a very old or injured bears and the chances of running into one of them is very minimal.
