Re: Hetch-hetchy for Easter
Thanks Paul, Very Nice Photos. You picked a great time to visit that area. Not that many people visit Le Conte Point.
Thanks Again!

Re: Hetch-hetchy for Easter
Any clue how much snow was in the Vernon area. Thinking about heading up that way the first week in May... mid week.

Re: Hetch-hetchy for Easter
I can only tell you that at 6500 feet there was about 6 inches of snow on the ground. In the morning, the snow was crisp and hard. By mid-day it was soft, slushy, and very slippery. I would guess that Vernon had a lot more snow---and it would not have been fun to be hiking in the afternoon...

Re: Hetch-hetchy for Easter
Sorry, got booked up and did not get a chance to reply. Thanks, I suspect after this last run of warm weather the snow is pretty much gone.
