2019 Yosemite Half Dome Event Info
Welcome to the Event Info Page for the 2019 Yosemite Hiking Extravaganza. So far I have booked one Housekeeping unit which can fit 3 people. Let me know if you are interested in sharing (first 2 responders). Otherwise you will need to make overnight reservations. This is the initial timeline of what I have in mind, I am open for ideas and things may shift time wise, so check back for updates. Note that the Sunday information is my plan for Sunday and not part of the Yosemite Trip, I added it for general information on when I would be getting to Yosemite.

Accommodations:
Currently I have a reservation for Housekeeping Camp from Sunday 9/15 though Thursday 9/19. I can share this with two other people (first two who respond) and split the cost of the reservation (~$40.50 p/p for a 3 way split per night). Once I have two people who want to split the cabin, anyone else who needs accommodations will be in responsible for reserving a location and/or checking if someone else would like to share a reservation that has been made.
Other Logistics:
Not all nights are required for going on this trip. I am limited to 6 people for the Half Dome hike but the hikes for Monday and Tuesday do not need a permit, so anyone can decide if they would like to do the Monday and/or Tuesday hikes. For Wednesday while the Half Dome hike happens for the 6 hikers with permits, any additional people who would like to do an optional hike can decide on what it will be. (I can provide suggestions if requested).
Anyone traveling into the park will need to purchase a Yosemite Park Pass or a National Park pass, if you do not already have one.
