I will be in Yosemite next week (arrive 4/24). Any current information on conditions along the Yosemite Falls (to Columbia Rock) or Four Mile trails would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Yosemite Falls trail to Columbia Rock should be fine...was on the Snow Creek trail up to Mt Watkins this past weekend and the trail was dry on the switchbacks (well, snow free...there were plenty of spots where runoff was flowing down the cliffs and on the trail)...and lots of snow up top.
Where's the Watkins pict? (from the top)

Yep, you are right...too much snow at the top, found the USGS monument on bare rock down closer to the Watkins Pinnicles.
More pics now...at

It doesn't get much better!
Nice. Dats where I'm going dis weekend. Wanna hang out in the curved tree for a bit.
Sleep on the top. Watch some snow come crashing down. Then go check out Olmsted (weather permitting).
If I got the time I'll poke around more and look for the BM. Been up there a few times and haven't
run into it. It's not on any map or benchmark viewer I have ever seen.
I presume it must be on the Old Yosemite Grant line b/t Clouds and Indian Rock proper or very close.
