Wow... thanks for the pictures -- so sad. We hiked up through there in July last year. My son's first ever backpacking trip. This year part of the trip is back down through there as it rained the day we were going to go up Half Dome, so we're returning so he can hopefully make it to the top. But it's definitely going to be different going down through the burn. He ate his first wild goose beby JenLynnSch - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Hi! We hiked up the Merced Canyon from LYV to Sunrise Camp via the Cathedral Fork trail last summer. It is an amazingly beautiful area - not sure if it was impacted by the Meadow Fire, hope not. There are campsites along the trail down to the Merced Canyon, but at this point the area isn't open for camping, only day use/hiking due to the fire. Here is a link that YNP sent me this last Sunday.by JenLynnSch - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
