Is it easy for one to leave from LYV, summit Clouds Rest and return in a day hike? I have some folks with me that wouldn't much enjoy the trip up half dome and this seems like a reasonable alternative. Any problems with snow along the way? Any ideas if we were to do it as a day trip from Merced Lake?
Thanks!

Go to the bottom of "Preparation Hikes" under "Hiking the JMT" to see them. The first one will show you the need for extra underwear
You will also see the snow condition on the way up.
Enjoy your hike this weekend.
