Tamarack to the Valley

[Fields]

HI everyone! I am so excited to have found this site. I am planning my first trip to Yosemite in the middle of June. The plan is for two of us to hike from Tamarack flat to the top of Yosemite Falls and then camp there that night. The following day we plan to hike down into the valley and then come out at the Mirrow Lake/Snow Creek trailhead(?). In any case, we are both in good shape and we hike hills in central California often. I have backpacking experience and since it is only one night I am not too concerned. If ANYONE has ANY information to share I would GREATLY appreciate it! I am looking for trail conditions, hike conditions, if this is a good distance, the affect the heavy snowfall will have on this area this year, advice about bears, etc. Thanks so much!
