We attempted Half Dome this last weekend (June 4, 2011). The trail was superb. A light rain kept the dust down and the people away. We hiked the trail and saw fewer than 40 people above Nevada Falls. Just below the stairs, the rain turned into a light snow. It was more like ice crystals than flakes and would melt immediatly upon impact. We pressed on up the stairs and onto a small snow fiby jmoshier - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
