Hi Adornowest

Yes, at peak run-off flooded area's, and crossings will be more difficult, but the falls
will still be good to view in the mornings, and especially during the midnight hours
during full moon since water levels are lower at these times as opposed to during the
day when water run-off levels are at there peaks, and when most people visit these falls.
Try to schedule your trip around 15th of July, full moon, to really get a unique view
of both Waterwheel & LeConte Falls.

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.
