Little Yosemite Valley

- On October 6, 2020 we left the Valley Floor of Yosemite to hike Half Dome. We took the John Muir Trail (JMT) to Little Yosemite Valley where we camped for the night. Before this trip I was looking for some info on LYV and couldn't find much. I figured this would be helpful to the next person camping there!
Thanks to: / @tracktribe for the background music.

This is the best attitude. "I couldn't find this resource when I looked for it, so I made it for other people." Great video, so helpful for planning.
So glad it’s helpful. I’ll be back in September and curios to see how packed it is.
@@NealBenson that’s funny, I’ll be there in September as well doing the hike from Tuolumne down to the valley via Vogelsang. I’ll keep my eyes out for you!
@@samuelyoder5502 so rad. We’re there the last week in September
Very Helpful. Doing Half Dome in Sept. Camping at Little Yosemite Valley.
So glad it’s helpful! I think you’ll have plenty of options of where to stay up there. Enjoy!
Thank you. I had been looking for this info. Got my permit for June.
So glad it was helpful! That was my hope in making it!
Just got my permit for August and was looking for some videos on little Yosemite valley thank you!!!
So glad this is helpful! LLY is really one of my favorite places to camp.
This video is SO helpful, thank you Neal.
This makes me so happy to read this comment! You're welcome. Hope you have a great time up there. LYV is one of my favorite places to sleep!
@@NealBenson I'm happy to hear that. I just got back from a LYV/Half Dome overnight and your video was great prep!
@@dorianmerrill So stoked to hear that. I like to stay there and break up the Half Dome. It's great getting on trail at 7am or 8am and seeing everyone who's been hiking for the last 2-3 hours.
Thanks a lot for making this video. Very helpful. I am camping here next week on my way to half dome.
You're welcome. Enjoy the hike. I love this campground. I'll be there again next month.
This is exactly what I have been looking for! Heading to Yosemite for the 1st time ever next week. Thank you
Love that it's helpful! When I was looking last summer I couldn't find anything either
Indeed this was helpful. Since childhood I've camped down in Yosemite Valley dozens of times and hiked up to the top of Nevada Falls many times. I've only hiked Half Dome once several years ago and want to do it again. But this time I want to spend the night in Little Yosemite Valley instead of doing the day hike death march, lol. I remember walking past the LYV campground coming and going, but I never did see the actual campsites area, nor did I even see any tents pitched, so I wasn't 100% sure where the sites were. I do remember seeing the restroom though, so your walk thru, then showing the restroom helped me orient to where the campsites are. Great video, thanks.
So happy it's helpful. I hiked Vernal and Nevada falls as a kid. When I did Half Dome the first time I walked by LYV campground. Once it was in my mind I knew I needed to camp there. The 18 mile day for Half Dome is doable but difficult. Breaking it up by staying here is amazing!
Super helpful!
Stoked it’s helpful!!! I was just there last week and it was amazing
Good job. It's been 40 years since I last visited Little Yosemite Valley on my way to hike up Half Dome
Thank you! It was my first stay here. I want to spend more nights in this spot!
This is great! Thank you so much! Camping there this October! I had no idea that they had compostable toilets
You’re welcome. It’s such a win. And Bear lockers
Thanks for the video! Super helpful.
You’re welcome! Hope it’s helpful this summer when you stay there.
Thank you for the post 🙏
You’re welcome! Hope it was helpful
Was there a ranger up there checking wilderness permits?
I was there two weeks ago and they checked my permit. Of the four times I’ve been I’ve had my permit checked twice. They said this year they are checking more because of the snowfall
Just what I was looking for, thanks! Also: did you continue your hike without your camping equipment and collect it on the way down? Just curious if that would be an option.
Glad it was helpful. Yes, I left my tent and big pack at LYV while hiking to half dome. I’ve done it three times and it’s always been safe
Is there enough bear lockers to go around?
In my experience, there all was always room in the bear lockers for me. They have several up there
Very Helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy your trip.
How far is the hike to half dome summit from the camp ground. How far is the the hike to the camp ground. Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome! It’s about 4.5 miles from the trailhead to LYV. Once you’re at the campground it’s about 4 miles to the summit of Half Dome.
Thank you I just got my permit for August and I'm definitely gonna use this to camp over night thanks a lot!!!
Do you need a permit to stay at LYV camp ground ?
Yes. You need a wilderness permit. It wasn't that much for my daughter and I.
@@NealBenson Is there any way to reserve a spot in the campground? Thanks
@@ljmarino1 unfortunately you can’t. But there is lots of space to camp
