    A wonderful little outing with great views, a good substitute for Half Dome, if you cannot get permits. I had no such problems, this hike was sandwiched between two Half Dome hikes!

    May, lots of snow at 7000 feet (2100m), would not recommend without snowshoes. I had to go back until I found no snow so that I could set campground. Beautiful route.
