I am also looking for info on this trail (planning on doing it memorial day weekend as well). Im thinking the north facing slope on the sunrise trail before the junction might be kinda nasty, but if anyone has done it recently (especially considering the recent storm) i would love an update.by iLOVEyosemite - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Ok so ive been going back and forth about what I want to do for my backpacking trip on the 10th. Its a two night trip and Ive narrowed it down to a few options. Agnew Meadows> Thousand Island Lake and back This is a pretty short trip, but I figure it might be kinda nice to have a full day to explore the thousand island lake area. Because the YARTS shuttle doesn't run on weekdays it is noby iLOVEyosemite - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Quotechick-on QuoteiLOVEyosemite After some consideration I think we may start from the mono trail side and end at Lyell Canyon. Do you mean Mono Pass TH? Or some other east side TH (mono trail side meaning Mono Lake) ??? I forgot to mention that if you are trying to do an entire loop... be aware that there is no trail on the south side of Tioga road connecting Lyell Canyon to Mono Pass TH.by iLOVEyosemite - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately I cannot take the YARTS from Mammoth to Tuolomne because our schedule dictates we end our hike mid week, and the tram only runs on the weekends. What is the likely snow situation at the high passes in the ansel adams area in mid june? I just want to avoid a bad situation. I am totally the "go for it" type, but i want to know what im gettingby iLOVEyosemite - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I have a backpacking trip planned on the 10th-14th of June. My plan was to start in Tuolomne and go down Lyell Canyon to Donahue Pass>Agnew Pass>Parker Pass and back to Tuolomne. Im looking for opinions on whether or not there will be too much snow to do the route in June, as well as any wisdom from people more experienced with the area. Thanks, happy hiking.by iLOVEyosemite - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hello, first post, love the forum. I did tenaya lake>clouds rest on may 24th 2013. The lake crossing was just below my knees and was a minor inconvenience. Like another poster said just take off your shoes and dry off your feet on one of the rocks on the other side. The snow on the trail was a bother however. On the ascent (abut 1.5 miles into the hike) there was a lot of snow on the swiby iLOVEyosemite - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
