How tough is that "root route" section? Trekking poles recommended for balance?

I didn't have any need for poles. YMMV.

Absolutely...the viewpoint is at something like 5200 ft elevation, so as long as the snow level is not way down, and so long as it has been somewhat dry and not too, too cold (i.e. no lingering ice) it should be fine. I was up there in both April and May of this year (big snow year..remember?) and had no snow or ice related issues.Quote

Do-able in winter?

So in your opinion, what's the hardest portion of the old Sierra Point Trail to traverse?

Not sure if it specifically applies to the "root route", but bill-e-g did recommend to bring along hiking sticks (see his last message on this thread, dated April 05, 2009).

I wouldn't do it if there is any chance of ice. It was slippery without any added issues. I did it without hiking poles in June, mainly because there was a lot of scrambling with hands. Definitely worth the hike though.

Our (sadly still only) annual trek to Yosemite is coming up in a couple more weeks (we scheduled it later in the season this year so we'd be sure of getting in some time on the "off-the-Tioga-Road" trails). We'll be splitting our stay between Yosemite West and White Wolf. One of the things I think I'd like to try during our "near-the-Valley" leg is Sierra Point (and possibly the Anderson Trail). Between this thread and the wonderfully step-by-step description here, I'm pretty set on finding it but can someone tell me about how far it is from the Mist turnoff to SP? It looks like it's not much more than a mile or two but, unless I'm missing it, I can't find any mention of the actual distance. Anybody got a ballpark figure for me?

Not sure what you mean by the Mist turnoff. The Sierra Point "trail" very close to Happy Isles.

I just meant where you turn off the Mist Trail by the rock slides sign (as described earlier in this thread).

You don't turn off the Mist Trail; you turn off the John Muir Trail.
I think the John Muir Trail and the Mist Trail are multiplexed at that point.
No, they aren't.

Look at its start date.

I meant that you might want to consider moving this thread to that forum because that is the logical home for it and new postings to it are of interest to the audience for that forum.
