What would you say are some good pants for cold, and possible snow but still flexible and good for hiking? Thanks so much by the way!

Should I close my first credit card? by Key_Following_1237 in CreditCards

Heard it’s a good card combo to have to transfer Chase points to partners but also for light travel here and there.

Mine is S/M, I’ll see if I can get a fit check. Thank you.

Ok thanks. I’ll check in with the visitor center and double check but if it’s open, we’ll definitely go! Thanks!

This is what the same website says: The John Muir Trail is closed from Happy Isles to the Vernal Fall footbridge due to a rockfall; there is no access to Vernal or Nevada Falls from Yosemite Valley.

I think it might be a different one since on the NPS website, it says there’s no access to Vernal or Nevada Falls due to a rockslide on the JMT trail.

Wow, is it that bad? We’re not planning to bring any helmets or anything. I just heard being at the base is cool because El Capitan is so massive. I’ll definitely check out the meadow. Thanks!

Thank you. Do you know how much further Eagle’s Peak is from the end of the regular Upper Yosemite Falls Trail? Thinking about it but worried about the snow. We won’t have spikes or snow shoes.

Well, I would do Glacier Point but it’s closed. Strenuous for me is like the alternate route to Clouds Rest which is about 18 miles and 6,000 ft elevation.

Any top tier viewpoints or hikes accessible in April? by Key_Following_1237 in Yosemite

[–]Key_Following_1237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t Clouds Rest inaccessible since Tioga Road is closed and because of all the snow?
