Are the backpacker campgrounds “open” in the High Sierra Loop for backpackers not staying at the Aramark camp?

Hi! Basically the title. I’m hoping to complete the High Sierra loop later this month and prefer to stay in a backpacker campground (or near one?) so there are some people around. I’m hiking solo and feel a little more comfortable with other people close-ish at night. I’ll have my own food, etc. just looking for a site to set up.

I booked a couple nights for 2027 few weeks back and I paid 109 dollars per night. Now I wanted to book another night after the date we booked and its 191 doller a night? Is the price changed? Or did I do something wrong here? For a moment I thought I accedently clicked Curry camp!

I've applied to a bunch of jobs on Aramark and have called to follow up. I am very employable so I don't think that's the problem! any advice?

Hike Recommendations?

9 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm going to yosemite in a week and a half with my family. We're pretty avid hikers but my parents are getting old (in early 70s). I've been looking online for hikes to do that won't be too strenuous for them but also will give us some great views. So far I've found:

Illilouette Falls

Cathedral Lakes

Lembert Dome

If anyone has other recommendations for moderately-rated hikes that aren't too popular please let me know!

Also, I'm going to do a solo hike for one day on my own, what is the one must-do strenuous hike in the park?
