Hello! We are very much looking forward to our first visit to Yosemite. We will be there April 16-19, staying in West Yosemite, with a rental car.
We are interested in the following hikes:
Happy Isles to Top of Nevada Fall
Mariposa Grove (loop hike ~ 6 miles)
Will we be able to do these hikes at this time of year? Do you think the Mariposa Grove road will be open by then? Would we need snowshoes?
Are there any other short hikes you'd recommend? Anything beyond moderate difficulty would be too much for some members of the family.
Thank you so much for your help, this forum has been a big help in planning our trip.
