Went up March 27-29. Thought going in the early season might save me from the throngs of toonies down in the valley but no such luck. From the valley to the top of Vernal falls was juuuust full of people. I cant imagine how crowded it would be in the summer. Bunch of spring breakers playing loud music at Little Yosemite Valley till 3AM. Nice.

Absolutely no snow until real small patches at the base of Clouds Rest.

Few pictures....

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
