Would anyone know the present conditions of Pohono Trail east of Standford point ?

According to the NPS site, "The Pohono Trail from Wawona Tunnel is clear of snow
until Standford Pt. Thereafter there is 100% snow coverage."

Yeah I had seen the NPS 'report' but its date is only a vague ''June 2011''... Is that 2 weeks or 2 days old?!

They also report ''The trail to Clouds Rest is clear of snow to about 8,200 feet and 100% thereafter. '' Since Pohono is between 7000 and 7800 ft, I would have assume to be snow free as well, but maybe the different location produces different conditions...

We have a B-P permit on Pohono (GP) on July 6 and my wife is VERY worried to have real muddy or icy conditions. Is the trail more rocky type or soft ground that transforms into mud?

Wilderness office says as of now, clear to Taft, then large patches of snow, with
100% snow coverage near the Sentinel Dome area.

Thanks for the update.

In general is the trail more rocky type or more soft ground that transforms into mud in spring conditions like now?

Rocky from the Tunnel View to about Inspiration Point.
