Marked trails may be hard or impossible to follow; hikers should have GPS, as well as map and compass (and know how to use them). 5/5

It's still snowy up there! Meadows and some trails are flooded. Snow is persisting in some shady areas as low as 8,000 feet, with extensive, deep snow coverage by 9,000 feet. Stay on trails to protect growing plants and plan for wet feet. 4/5

The Tuolumne Meadows Wilderness Center will be open (8 am to 5 pm) and a general information desk near the visitor center will be open from 9 am to 5 pm. Tioga Road has some damage, so watch for one-lane sections, with delays up to 15 minutes just east of Olmsted Point. 2/5

Sections of trails in the Glacier Point Road area will still be wet and muddy, with snow persisting at the higher elevations (e.g., Ostrander Lake). If you want to go backpacking, wilderness permits are now available one week in advance (not the day before, as in the past). (5/6)
