Any suggestions for a 3 day backpacking loop from Yosemite Valley in mid November? Experienced/skilled hiker with no skis/crampons/mountain climbing equipment.

There's been a lot of snow in the last couple days, so your options maybe limited. But here's a report of a similar trip.

Thanks for the link; i think I'll do the same trip Tunnel>Pohono Trail>Glacier>Panorama Trail>JMT>Happy Isles. I hope this is doable in 2 & 1/2 days.

Navigating my way past Dewey Point eastward toward Glacier Pt. was near impossible even with just a little snow (4 in.) & winter debris. I would not recommend this route after snowfall.
