Re: Yosemite Creek

I'm hoping to stay at Yosemite Creek Campground in a couple of weeks and was looking at hiking the Yosemite Creek trail to the top of Yosemite falls. Has anyone done it recently? How much snow is still up there? Does anyone have a good link to a description of the trail?

Thanks that definitely alleviates my worry about the snow. Next question (I've tried searching on the forum but didn't find anything). Is there a description of the trail anywhere? In terms of mileage from campground to the falls, elevation change, etc.

A Map
(unfortunately the road down to YC CG is not shown entirely)
(you can do the math for elevation changes.... )

6 Miles one way to top o Falls.

Look here for mileage and some trail descriptions perhaps:

Some nice granite in the area w/ Yosemite Creek:
