Hi all,
I'll be heading up to Yosemite for some winter camping this weekend. Has anyone been there recently and can comment on the conditons of the walking paths around Upper Pines/Curry Village? I'm curious if the ice has started to stay in the more shaded areas?
I'm going with others who haven't been there in the winter and am wondering if they'd need some traction devices? I've got my yak trax and micro spikes for the trails, but don't have enough to go around.
Worst case, they can buy them there and have them for their next winter visit.
Quick annecdote. I was up there a few winters ago with my wife camping in the snow at Upper Pines. We went for a hike, and I said she should wear her yak trax. She thought she'd be fine without them. About 30 steps later on the road behind the campsites, she promptly slipped on ice and fell. I tried my hardest not to say "I told you so". The only thing she hurt was her pride. And her butt.
