Mt. Clark/Florence questions

Postby gkam2 » Thu Jun 02, 2011 4:47 pm

Hello!

I want to plan a trip to Mt. Clark and Mt. Florence with 3-4 days of hiking.

1. Is it possible to start from the Mono Trailhead and only use around 3-4 days?
2. How crowded has it been in the past?
3. What kind of snow levels can you expect over 4th of July? Last week of Aug?
4. Can anyone comment on Clark with regards to the climbing part?

Is it mostly like this picture I found on summitpost?
I've searched for a lot of information and I've found that it seems like it would be a great experience I'm just worried about the snow levels.

Must be honest, I've never climbed Mt. Clark, but I did do Red Peak Pass just a little south of Mt. Clark. Unless you're prepared to deal with snow, I would wait until August.
