An exhilarating solo adventure into the Yosemite Wilderness along the Pohono Trail in Yosemite National Park, California. Starting at the iconic Glacier Point, I embarked on a 15-mile overnight journey filled with breathtaking views and unforgettable moments. The trail offered stunning vista of Yosemite Valley, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls, making every step worthwhile. As I trekked towards Dewey Point, the landscape transformed, revealing panoramic views that left me in awe. Dewey Point provided the perfect spot to set up camp for the night. Surrounded by the tranquility of nature, I spent the evening under a blanket of stars, reflecting on the day's adventures.
The next morning, I packed up and continued my hike, connecting to the McGurk Meadow Trail which leads back out to Glacier Point Road. This part of the journey offered a serene walk through lush meadows and dense forests, providing a peaceful contrast to the dramatic cliffs and peaks of the previous day. Throughout this solo trek, I encountered and experienced the raw beauty of Yosemite in a unique and personal way. Enjoy the adventure!

What an awesome adventure. That campsite was just unbelievable. I’ve been to Yosemite countless times but it just never gets old. Cool to see you reading Marcus Aurelius, I always find my outdoor adventures the best time to reflect.

What an exhilarating solo adventure in Yosemite! Your hike along the Pohono Trail from Glacier Point to Dewey Point looked absolutely stunning. The vistas of Yosemite Valley, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls were breathtaking. The timelapses you captured were incredible and really added to the beauty of the video. Spending the night under the stars at Dewey Point must have been unforgettable. Thanks for sharing this amazing journey! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

The bad thing about these videos... makes me hate the 40-Hr. Has me thinking I need to schedule another trip for July before my trip in August, yeah I was there in early June so what? People always ask me, "Why Yosemite again"? To which I usually respond... have you been there?? If 'yes', have you been to x, y, or z? Everywhere there is awesome, even a couple of hours on a bike around the valley floor dodging the 'normies.' I definitely need to do this Pohono Trail. I've been up and around Ostrander, looped Buena Vista/Royal Arche from Briadalveil Creek (Westfall Meadows is amazing), but not the N. side of Glacier Pt Rd.

Hi Scott I have seen just about all your videos and love them all. I have a question for you since you been all over the Sierra’s… I am going to attempt to do the J M T next July 2025 starting from Onion Valley to Yosemite Valley . My question is when I start from Onion Valley in your opinion what do you suggest my first night camp be Charlotte Lake or somewhere near Glen Pass. Thanks for the information and keep your videos coming I learn so much from them.
@Sheety33 5 күн бұрын
Thank you very much. If you are not acclimated, I suggest camping at onion valley then continuing on, but if you are, you could go over the pass and camp at the Kearsarge lakes, then continue on the next day. Better to take it easy than burn yourself out at the start.
@trishlarrysnyder1008 5 күн бұрын
@@Sheety33 Thanks for all the information, I plan on getting there a few days early so I can acclimate, you are so right I definitely don’t want to burn out the first day. In your travels how far is it from the trailhead to Kearsage Lake and from there to Charoltte Lake? (Oh by the way I live in Tennessee) so I can’t do much exploring that area. I was raised in Southern California and hike the Sierra’s many times when I was younger and that is where my heart is… so Thank you again for your videos 😁

Beautiful Hike. What a score on the campsite. Also, may I ask what type of permit you need for this?
@owendunbar5272 12 күн бұрын
I’m pretty sure it’s the pohono trail (glacier point) permit on recreation.gov.

So when you are up on a ridge you don;t have to keep the food away from your campsite?
@Sheety33 6 күн бұрын
Surprisingly, the latest from the Yosemite wilderness ranger is to sleep with your food within arms reach….but do what you feel comfortable with!

I’m a newbie but like how do you find your way back to your car?? Are there multiple parking lots or you just camp remotely close? I know there’s like hundreds of thousands of acres, but do people really hike dozens of miles out knowing they’re gonna have to hike em all back to their car?
