Thanks! I'm heading in pretty soon, going up to Half Dome and Clouds Rest, so this is invaluable. (I just posted a query asking about conditions.) You not only didn't need snowshoes, but do appear to

Oh wow, yes indeed. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/faq.htm#flood

Tom, lucky you ! Wonderful to see someone skiing pics ! Karina Bezkrovnaia

And that’s why park is closing now as they have flood warming. Karina Bezkrovnaia

Nice video. Thank you for posting.

It might be bear tracks, but if you peer closely at the aerial image ( /g/JMT/message/76629 ) , there appear to be tracks curving away from the bridge on the upper right.

With all the talk of bridges and this being a JMT group, thought I'd post a couple photos of current conditions along the JMT. We set out Saturday from Main Lodge at Mammoth to do an overnight at the

Hi All, I spent the weekend up in Yosemite for some early season backpacking and was blown away how massive the snow pack is this year. No surprise here after reading all the snow reports, but seeing

I will be very surprised and impressed if anyone reaches that bridge from the South in May.

I agree with Mike.? I don't see any evidence of avalanche or other catastrophic event, and relatively little deformation on the upstream side.? Would like to see a lower angle shot, but from the

Ned TIbbits made a lot of good counterpoints about the above but on the Facebook 2023 JMT Hikers Forum.? I made my reply there, quote: " I agree with the comments made by Ned Tibbits (

Here is my prediction. The PCTA will post alternative routes. Most likely exit over bishop pass to south lake and enter via Paiute pass. This approach will be completely legal with a PCTA pass. It

Yeah, it's hard to gauge from an aerial shot and with the snow. Comparing that photo to the photos I took of that bridge in 2020, It doesn't look like it was pushed off the foundations (again, hard to

I don't take much hope from the fact that it is not in the River:? it looks that way to me from the start.? But if you carefully identify which bars are where in the structure of the bridge, and

Karina, I agree with you regarding off trail detours. Off trail travel is a completely different proposition compared to what people are used to on the JMT and other well traveled trails. I've

Responding to the reply (in another forum) that SAR missions may happen with people trying to cross the water, I can also imagine there will be SAR missions dealing with people who are not adept at

If you take a cross section through the bridge, you get a U shape. U shapes are not very good at handling twisting (torsion). That's why I think a lopsided load (heavy snow on one side, missing snow

This was a VERY high snow year. I’m “assuming” (an engineering term [ ;) ]) that the snow load exceeded the design load for the deck. The right beam simply failed and buckled and relieved the
