I'm thinking of taking an extended backpacking trip to Yosemite this Spring/Summer. I know that I've seen a bunch of photos on the site and I was wondering what places I should put on the itenerary.

Every one talks about the valley I prifer the back side of Yosemite. It's very green and you will see much more wild life.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

prismmagic: Where exactly would the 'backside' be? Do you mean north of the valley where the main visitor's center is? I'm trying to make some sense of this map that I printed out, but it lacks topo lines...
What are you going to be up to there tb?

I'll get the map location for you. It is more of the Pacific trail if I remember right. You will find it less pointed to the tourest.

This might help you match up with the map you have: Terraserver Topo
For a place as popular as Yosemite, it's highly likely your local bookstore or "outdoor store" might have some decent maps (Borders and B&N are usually not so great in this department, but it's possible).
Edit: I hadn't realized TOPO! was so cheap. This program is really great for creating custom maps of where you want to go, you just need to protect the inkjet printout against water, unlike a good USGS quad.
Cool, free, and you can have it right now: CaSIL. Or a direct link to a TIFF of the "Yosemite Valley" 1:100000 metric quad (warning 26MB file). 1:24000 tiffs also available on that CaSIL site.
I, uhh, have a bit of a thing for topos... By the way, never been there, never been west of Buffalo, so as for your original question, I have no idea.

I think I read that it is more than 3,000 km^2. If you go to mapquest and just look at a map of the US you can see it pretty well.
Thanks xentrik, I'll have a look at those links you collected for me.
