Is this a hot spot?
What is this on my dogs leg? It’s like a scabbed over rough area. Skin looks irritated. She isn’t nipping at it too much or seem to care if I inspect it. What can I do to take care of it?

First Yosemite Trip During July 4 Weekend — What Should We Know?
Heading to Yosemite for July 4 weekend — staying at Autocamp Yosemite. What do I need to know?
My wife and I are staying at Autocamp Yosemite from July 2–5. We know this is probably one of the busiest weekends of the year, so we’re trying to set expectations appropriately and plan smart.
A few questions for people who know the park well:
- What are the biggest mistakes first-timers make on a holiday weekend?
- How early do we realistically need to enter the park each day to avoid parking nightmares?
- Any specific parking areas/lots that are better than others?
- Best hikes/viewpoints that are still worth doing despite the crowds?
- Are there any less crowded areas or activities we should prioritize?
- Any must-know tips for traffic, food, shuttle usage, or timing?
- Is Glacier Point or Tioga Road worth prioritizing over Yosemite Valley on a packed weekend?
We’re staying near Midpines/Mariposa, so we’ll likely be entering through Arch Rock entrance.
Would love any advice that helps make the trip smoother and more enjoyable. Thanks!
