I'm planning to do a loop from Glacier Point over Red Peak Pass in Mid July. I have an aversion to deep snow or ice in exposed situations. I know some years mid- July would be too early, but I thought this year would work. Opinions ?

Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion QITNL misses the point. The view from the top of Mount Whitney on a clear day a memory for a lifetime. It is amplified by the difficulty of getting there. The same goes for Half Dome. I don't have to do these hikes over and over. Just one clear day and I can move on to other things.

Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion I love going solo. I leave a map with my itinerary home with the husband and go.
