I promised the kids that we would take them up to the snow, before it melts, so Friday we went up to Yosemite for the day.

We continued on. We got to the May Lake sign and I noticed the gate was now open. Since I was there and wanted to see what the conditions were…I turned off and followed the bumpy road until we go to the trailhead parking. Lots of snow left along with boulders, trees and a bathroom. Perfect…we stayed here!
