I'm going to be hiking in Tuolumne with a shorter visit to Yosemite valley in August/September this year for the first time. Can anyone experienced with the terrain suggest the best footwear for the trip? It will be day hikes with a light pack, nothing too heavy. I don't want to carry full hiking boots if trail shoes will suffice, but I don't want to be twisting my ankle in trail shoes if things get too rough. Will I need full gtx boots at that time of year?

LogisticEarth posted:Flying with trekking poles shouldn't be a huge problem. Most collapse down to a size that should easily pack in a suitcase/duffel/backpack. I have a set from Black Diamond and they collapse down to about 2.5 feet in length. I suffer from aching hips after 6+ miles hiking so from what I've read, poles could help this problem. Ive ordered a pair of Black Diamond Trail Compact poles and look forward to trying them out. Sadly I also ordered a Marmot Grid and a pair of Meindl Air Revolution Ultras, so I won't be able to eat for a while.
