Anyone been up the trail lately? What are the trail (snow) conditions past High Creek Camp. Planning to do the hike possibly on June 6th.

Thanks, Berne Mettenleiter

Hi Tina,

Good to hear from you. Haven't gotten any feed back yet from anybody!!! Maybe that means, that not many folks have been up that way. I might just go anyway and get some altitude workout, which I need for later in September. (Whitney with a group from Germany)

Take care, Berne

Has anybody got GPS coordinates for some spots on Vivian creek trail. Trial head, half way camp, high creek, a couple of the trail intersections. Got some off SGW site. Wanted a couple more.

There is a trail update on www.sgwa.com. I think it was dated 5/28.
Got Bordeaux?

As far as I recall form my hike last fall the trail was very easy to follow. I did record the whole hike on GPS and have the track somewhere :roll: . If you google a little you should find a track file for this popular trail.

I understand the switchbacks above High Creek are heavily damaged -- to the point of being pretty much non existant over some parts of the route.

Going up this Saturday from the Southfork Trailhead would like to know how much snow is in the bowl above Dry Lake, plan to go up the east face of the bowl, thanks?
