Dude, if you narrow it down to places with showers you're really limiting yourself. Just take baby wipes!

Yosemite!!!

You cam camp in the valley near bathrooms. There's even a grocery store you can drive to or, if you want, cabins you can rent. IMO, you really should hike and camp somewhere away from the crowd for at least a few days. Upper Yosemite Falls is awesome. It's about a 4 mile hike to the top (pretty steep though) with great places to camp. The falls are probably dry now but there are still awesome views. Hetch Hechy is pretty cool too if you want an easier hike.

Even staying in the valley there's cool day hikes you can go on like half-dome.


As far as I'm concerned, Yosemite is the most beautiful place in the world. Ansel Adams is overrated- even I could be a professional photo artist if I took all my pictures there

That's hardly camping. You might as well just sleep in a tent outside your house.

I want to chop down trees with an axe, light them on fire and cook marshmallows on them.

Hiking in Yosemite is crazy...the elevation really gets you. Very beautiful place though

+1

Showers? Just hang out in your backyard, buy a fire pit, adn split a few store bought logs.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

sorry, I don't bathe in dirty cold water. sorry if that makes me a pussy but i need a nice hot shower everyday. i also live in an apartment complex...so that's a no-go.

Camping . . . you work all year and then take a vacation where you live like you have no money.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

i think the fun part would be getting stoned and drunk.

That sounds fun . . .more fun if you do it where you have a bunch of modern conveniences to enjoy the buzz.

But if you want to enjoy nature and drugs, I would suggest shrooms, peyote or ecstasy if you got a lady friend.

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

I only smoke weed.

I haven't done it as a continuous trip, but I have done all sections of the Timberline trail multiple times - as dayhikes and one or two night backpacking trips. I've also done many (most) of the side trips (Paradise Park, Yocum Ridge, McNeill Point, Barrett Spur, Cooper Spur, etc.) off the Timberline. My favorite section is the NW - N side of the mountain (Cairn Basin, Wy'east Basin, Elk Cove). The mountain looks more rugged from this side and the glaciers are bigger and hold their snow longer than the ones on the south and east sides of the mountain. Nice campsites with good views in these areas, as well.

I'm considering doing the complete loop with my kids this year. I want to eventually do the Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier with them and the Timberline is similar in character to the Wonderland, but on a smaller scale.

Ecstasy is bad news. You can't sleep and you're depressed for two days after taking it. It's on the list of things I won't ever do again, although I did it more than once in my younger DJ days.

I hear a bad batch can really mess you up . . . glad i got through my college days without seriously causling damage to myself up.

Ignorance was fun . . . these days i don't have the guts (or i am just smarter) to really dabble in that stuff. Of course if some babe tempted me, I could see myself pull a Marion Berry. Luckly for me (I guess) no babe will ever tempt me.
