During a pandemic is an excellent time to visit Yosemite. Normally we avoid Yosemite during the summer because it is so crowded, but since the park was limiting guests, we snagged some permits and fulfilled a long-awaited dream of taking the children on a proper backpacking trip. We saw a total of 4 people the whole time.
The children were so tough! They carried their own stuff, and aside from one hour of total family meltdown on Day 4, there was surprisingly little complaining. Our reward was pristine lakes, rows and rows of rugged peaks, bear sightings, and refreshing waterfalls.
