Hi everyone! I am currently planning to visit home (NorCal) in the summer and bring my bf to California for his first time. He really wants to visit Yosemite since it’s only a couple hrs from where my family’s from. The only thing is we’d be going the first week of August which I know can be brutal. I have always wanted to do the Panorama Trail (that includes Mist + 4 Mile) but am getting nervous of how the heat will affect our energy. My plan would be for us to start walking by 6am to try and mitigate but would still love to hear your thoughts/feedback. Since I dont visit home often (live in NY now) I’m not sure the next time we’d make it to the park so is August better than nothing? Any tips for the hike in the heat? Or visiting that month in general?
