My sister came to visit over the past week, and we spent Tuesday checking out all the tourist sites in Yosemite. It was nice to get to all the viewpoints on a weekday in the spring – the crowds weren’t bad and the falls and wildlife were putting on quite a show. We spent a long time watching a bear graze at Crane Flat, and the marmot even popped out to say hi at Olmstead Point.
I had a chance to check out the snow conditions at Tioga Pass. There is spotty snow along the road and in the woods above 8000 ft, but I didn’t encounter regular snow coverage until Dana Meadows, at about 9700 ft. Even then, it was a rapidly melting ~3 feet, so it isn’t going to be around much longer!
