I'm thinking of finally hiking the Chilnualna Falls trail outside of Wawona. Will there be enough water this year to make it worthwhile in two weeks? I will look at the Yosemite Falls webcam, but am not sure how/if that will be an accurate indicator of the water flow of these falls, being on the opposite side of the valley and at a lower elevation. I've seen many videos of the hike on YouTube, and they mostly seem to have been done in May.
If the creek won't have enough water flowing to be interesting this time of year, I'll have to figure out other day hikes on this "off weekend" in between my week-long backpacking trips. Maybe something starting around Sentinel Dome or Mono Meadows and heading east? I've always wanted to get to the top of Bridalveil Fall and the topology seems reasonable x-country from Pohono Trail, but the brush/bushwhacking seems to be the problem. I've also always wanted to get out to the Great Sierra Mine area, and thought that maybe I could make a loop around Granite Lakes, which looks nice.
Thanks in advance.
