Pohono Trail snow conditions?

Postby BrendanSF » Tue Jun 01, 2010 10:20 am

I'm considering hiking the Pohono Trail from Wawona Tunnel to Glacier Point in mid-June. Any guesses how much snow will be on the trail?

Also, does anyone know the total mileage from Wawona Tunnel to Glacier Point ? Thank you!

Pohono Trail

Postby bwg999 » Tue Jun 01, 2010 11:26 pm

I can't answer the first question (how much snow) but would also be interested in the answer...how much snow is there recently and how fast it is melting (i.e. is it doable this weekend without snowshoes, etc).

Re mileage, the book Hiking Yosemite National Park (available in Curry Village store) lists mileage from Wawona Tunnel (Tunnel View ) to Glacier Point as 13.8 miles. A few intermediate points:
0 - Tunnel View
1.1 - Old Inspiration Point
3.8 - Stanford Point spur
4.5 - Crocker Point spur
5.1 - Dewey Point spur
11.8 - Taft Point Trail
12.8 - Sentinel Dome Trail
13.8 - Glacier Point

I'd guess quite a bit. Suppose to go somewhere off GP this weekend
so maybe I can make a better guess then.

Reviving my thread from last year. I'm thinking of doing the full Pohono trail from 4 Mile Trail to Tunnel View (and hitchhiking back to the Valley). Any updates on snow and creek-crossing conditions? Will probably go in 1 or 2 weeks. Thank you!
