Some friends and i want to go to yosemite for 09 summer in june. But i want to go backpacking, i have seen and read a lot about the John Muir Trail, it looks great. But i have some questions on "backpacking."??? 1st can you camp set camp for the nigh any were along the trail? And if so can you make a fire, like a cooking fire? Do we need bear canisters of some kind? Our trip will be of 3 days max, 4. So the question is if we take the john Muir trail, does it loop back around or do we come back to were we started the same way? (cuz i know that trail is 211miles long, can we just do like 40-45 miles in 3 to 4 days, round trip) can you go swimming on amy lake you find along the way. Is there are better trail that loops and its beautiful. Feel free to tell me your story of backpacking in yosemite. Plz. Thank you
