I am planning a trip to May Lake in a couple of weeks. From what I gather from other posts the May Lake Road is not open yet. Am I correct in assuming that I would therefore start from trailhead #16 (May Lake to Snow Creek) and head north to the actual trailhead (#17). Does anyone know how difficult the trail is between these two points? I have also read that the trail is snow covered for mby JDM - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
From a photographers perspective, would it be better to be at the top of clouds rest and half dome at sunrise or sunset?by JDM - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thanks for the info and pics. I am thinking about doing the exact same route in about 10 days and have a few questions: -Was there much snow from the creek crossing to the bottom of the switchbacks? How about from the top of the switchbacks to Little Yosemite Valley? -Do you think snowshoes or crampons might help us in getting through the snow/ice? -Where did you end up camping?by JDM - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
