I am heading to California this year for a very special trip. I want to include a backpacking overnighter in Yosemite as part of the trip.

I'd like it to be around 20-22 miles.

Day 1 10 miles
Day 2 10 miles
day 3 1-2 miles

something like that.

Anyone know of a loop that would meet those perameters and be hella scenic?

pls provide beta :) !!!

muchos gracias!

Scenic in Yosemite?? :)

My fist thought was the Matterhorn area at the north-east corner of Yosemite (Hoover Wilderness). I've tried twice in early June and I've never been able to do the full trip. If you go July/August, you should have no problem.
