Emigrant Wilderness conditions?

Any beta on trail conditions? Ranger tells me they haven't been up there yet, roads are still closed until Wednesday or so, but five or six visitors have hiked up from the highway.
Planning to go up the 25th.

We attempted to hike to Camp and Bear this past weekend. Since Crabtree is closed, we were going to hike the 6 miles to the TH and then head out from there. There was a fair amount of snow (Friday) so we turned back and hiked down the Tuolumne River instead. It's really warm here now so I'm sure a lot has melted. Although temps are going to drop again tomorrow.

Thanks, Ladd.
Sounds like you hiked up the usual F.S. road, 4N26, starting from the ski resort? Where was the snow, how much? I'm guessing this was from the recent storm, because I wasn't expecting any old snow below 10000' or so, based on photos I've seen of the Merced.

Yes, that's the one. There was a fair amount of snow right after you park and cross the Tuolumne on 4N26. There were families sledding there in fact. We may be getting some weather again tomorrow so we'll see. We'll probably give it another go this coming weekend and if we do, I'll post a TR here on HST.
