Wow !! Thanks for sharing. Great set of pictures. Paul has gone to great lengths to go to the exact locations and get the right shot. Looked at some of his other "Before and After" pictures as well.

Thanks for the info. So looks like Mt Hoffmann is out. Would Cloud's Rest be accessible at this time? My brother is flying in for this trip and he wants to go one good long hike.

Is there snow / ice on any of the trails for these hikes? Any other hike recommendations instead of theby samanan - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Cool picture. Do you need to have snow shoes / yaktrax to go to Mirror Lake this time of the year? Am planning to be in Yosemite this weekend, was wondering if I can hike without snow shoes or yaktrax.by samanan - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
