I will be going to Yosemite this weekend, staying until tue/wed. It will be my first winter trip. I would like to hike mist trail or upper yosemite falls trail. Are either of them going to be possible to reach the top? Which would be more enjoyable or "successful" if the top o the falls is unreachable.I know the mist trail is not as safe, and yosemite falls trail gets more sun so im leaning toward it. No ski/climbing/snow shoe equipment here, just some good boots.
Here are my plans so far, any other good ideas for day hikes other than: Artist/Inspiration point, 13 mile loop trail, mirror lake tenaya canyon, Mariposa grove, LYF, Vernal footbridge, happy isles, cooks meadow. We want to stay in the valley and know hiking is limited. Again no show shoes or anything special, just good hiking boots. Any recommendations or advice will be appreciated/used.
