Here’s the latest on the Yosemite Valley Trails with information from the National Park Service.
Vernal/Nevada Falls: The Vernal/Nevada Falls trail system is scheduled to open 100% by Thursday morning for foot traffic. Stock animals are not advised until the area has been fully cleared of fallen trees and snowbanks.
Half Dome: Little Yosemite Valley is approximately 20-30% covered in snow. Half Dome cables are scheduled to be up for Memorial Day, if fair conditions persist.
Four Mile Trail: The lower sections (almost 2 miles) of the Four Mile Trail are open.
Mirror Lake: The trail on the south side of the Mirror Lake loop is currently being cleared of debris and repaired after a large tree fell and damaged the trail. The trail remains open to foot traffic but is impassable to stock.
Upper Yosemite Falls: The Yosemite Falls Trail is open to foot traffic but be wary of snow patches towards the top.
This seasons late rains and deep snow pack means some trails are flooded and care should be taken. Hikers should be wary of stream crossings and swift moving water. Many creeks and streams will be extremely hazardous until late in the summer due to snow-melt and runoff.
