I don't know if you'll be able to do it BUT, I'd get the Winegard Pathfinder X2 instead of a Tailgator. You can only get the western sats with a Tailgator but the X2 can get the western OR the eastern sats - so you have more chances for success.
Full disclosure - I have an X2 and have been using it for 3 years now as a full timer. But never in a valley like Yosemite.
Also - If you have an Iphone, get the DISHFORMYRV app. I use it all the time. It uses the phone's camera to project the locations of the Dish satellites onto the sky (and trees and cliffs) when you hold your phone up and point it at the right place. It may just give you the edge you need.
I would also have a 'normal' 35/50 ft cable and also a 100 ft cord in case you really need to move your sat dish around. Some folks have stated that the 100 ft cord will work, although Winegard may not agree. They're cheap so I'd have one (Amazon is your friend).
