It is Monday 4/24/23. Has anyone been up to the top of Yosemite Falls, Yosemite Point, or North Dome via the Yosemite Falls trail recently? If so, how is the trail? Is there any snowless areas above the falls or towards Yosemite Point where you can pitch a tent? And are Indian Canyon Creek, Lehamite Creek, and Royal Arch Creek passible to get to North Dome?

Wow!!!, and thank you. This here is pure gold. I owe you one. A picture really is worth a thousand words. This gives me a real idea of what it will be like trying to access those lakes. Now I am even more excited. What a beautiful place. I bet you didn't see any peeps where you were there. Nor did you hear a radio. I have a gps trail app on my phone and a spotX.

Hello and thank you for your response. I will start by answering each of your questions. The goal is all of those that you listed and to have a great adventure in the serenity of the wilderness. There is a bit of a challenge to explore and see if I can trailblaze a way through here. I am not sure why you would be confused by hitting Avonelle at the north end. Once I get to upper Braniganby Backpacking_with_Jesus - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I am planning a loop leaving Hetch Hetchy (clockwise) and passing by Vernon Lake, the Braningan Lakes, and hitting Avonelle Lake at the north end. I am planning to do a fair amount of off-trail scrambling and bush whacking. I am curious if anyone has been through this area and if you have any advice about what I might encounter or which areas I should head towards and which to avoid.
