A small group of us are going backpacking in Yosemite around mid-April and can use some advice from the experts here. Initial plan was to go from Yosemite Snow and Snowboard area to Glacier Point but that road will be closed for plowing. So debating between the following as two people in our group of 4 have done the following in late spring with no snow:
1. Pohono trail to Taft point and back via Panorama trail
2. Snowcreek trail to the secret cabin or Mt Watkins. (none of us have been to that cabin before)
We are all experienced backpackers and the overnight trip is from Saturday morning to Sunday. Will carry snowshoes.
Any suggestions for alternate trips or any tips for these routes? I am not sure whether snowcreek trail has any avy chutes and same for beginning section of Pohono trail.
Thanks for sharing the information
