Hello esteemed group of Yosemite-lovers. I'll be 30 weeks pregnant during a scheduled trip to the Yosemite High Sierra camps (Glen Aulin and May Lake). I'm very physically fit and in my recent doctor check-in, she indicated the biggest concern isn't physical fitness, it's actually the quality of the trail -- as pregnant women's balance gets thrown off a bit. Last year we did the south part of the HSC loop (Vogelsang, Merced, Sunrise) but don't know what to expect on the Glen Aulin/May Lake side. Specifically, can anyone offer insight into what the trails are like? Lots of bouldering and climbing over rocks? Pretty wide-open trails? Of course, I can see the elevation profiles and some photos, but nowhere can I find information about this type of information. I won't be carrying a pack (I have my husband and kids to thank for that). By way of comparison, the hike to Vogelsang from Tuolomne, while a large elevation gain, was not that bad - fairly well maintained trails. The hike DOWN to Merced would be tougher since there's a part where it's pretty steep with boulders/rocks/etc. The the hike from Merced to Sunrise was quite easy/smooth as well. Then the hike down to Tuolomne from Sunrise was also rougher.
I appreciate any/all insight you can offer. Thanks in advance!
