Great video! About how many miles was it to travel from Little Yosemite camp to Clouds Rest then to Sunrise Lakes? Was there any water sources along the way?
Amy Young (replying from my other account) thanks for watching! It was about 4 very strenuous miles from little Yosemite to clouds rest. From clouds rest to sunrise it was maybe 5 miles or so but it was all downhill. Not many people choose to go to clouds rest from little Yosemite- usually people go the opposite route because there’s less elevation gain if you start at sunrise lakes/Tenaya lakes and walk down to the valley. Climbing to clouds rest from little Yosemite was extremely hard with our packs on. It may be better to go the opposite way like I said or just leave camp/packs at little Yosemite and come up to clouds rest as a day trip. There were almost no water sources between little Yosemite and clouds rest. There’s a water source maybe 1 mile before we reached sunrise lakes but it wasn’t that helpful since we were already moving downhill; wasn’t too strenuous and we were close to sunrise lakes anyway. We used the app Gaia to help us navigate and that was one of the best ideas we had for this trip to find our way around and plan it out. Lmk if you have other questions!
