The trail we chose started at Tenaya Lake, North of the valley starting Friday morning. From there we'd hike 10mi, up and down some pretty heft hills, towards the sunrise creek campground, around where the Cloud's Rest trail meets the John Muir Trail near the base of Half Dome. The trail we decided to take was the red one, bypassing Cloud's Rest (a hefty elevation gain/loss). In the picture its around where the highest red camp symbol is.
Then on Sat we would get up early, go up and down Half Dome, then hike to Little Yosemite Valley and sleep. Finally on sunday we'd hike back into the valley via the Myst Trail. Since Thursday night we slept in the Valley and the shuttles to Tenaya wasn't running, we had to leave one of the Xs in the Valley and all pile into Al's X for the 50mi drive up to Tenaya.
