Hey guys,
Anyone been up to Rae lakes recently? Whats the snow conditions like?
May 18, 2016 at 3:10 pm #3403300I am also interested in the snow levels in general in the southern sierras. I am planning a trip for early next month.
May 19, 2016 at 11:33 am #3403438As of May 19th (NOHRSC Interactive Snow Information):
May 20, 2016 at 9:16 pm #3403755I’ll let you know when I come back. I leave tomorrow for King’s Canyon and start the loop counter-clockwise Sunday with my first night at Lake Reflection or Vidette Meadow.
May 20, 2016 at 11:56 pm #3403777Make sure you bring crampons. I’ve done this loop twice in April and went C/C so I wouldn’t need to take them.
Getting over Glen is too steep going clockwise without crampons.
May 21, 2016 at 12:33 am #3403785How did you get there in April? Isn’t the road closed?
May 21, 2016 at 6:02 am #3403803I’m going counterclockwise.
