Just wanted to put in a post to thank everyone for the info they provided. It was very helpful. We all had a fabulous time in Yosemite last week. The weather was perfect - almost too warm on some days. The Saturday we left was the day they started getting snow.

I'll be in the park next week too. I read that I should be prepared with chains - so I was going to rent some or buy some before I enter the park. Would that be a waste of money given the weather forecast at this time?by LNM - General Discussion

I'm hoping not! 2 - I've read that they take down the cables at Half Dome sometime inby LNM - General Discussion
