Yose JMT closure

 

Bad news for purists, but a really nice trail alternative, the mist trail:

Hiking a long trail in the Sierra with no closures, alternates, etc seems like the exception rather than the rule. “Purists” should really focus on the intent of the trail rather than the exact alignment. Ask Peter Hirst what he thinks of the current trail in terms of “purity” of the original trail!?

The bypass, the , has its own pleasures.? It has the park's best view of Vernal Falls.? The viewpoint is about half way down from Clark Point to Merced River Bridge at the top of the Silver Apron.? While the Mist Trail on the section next to Nevada Falls isn't wet like the section next to Vernal Falls, it's still mighty scenic.? There are some downsides.? It involves an extra 400' drop and associated climb.? It's steep in spots.? It's closed to stock, which is a minus for some and a plus for others.?
 
Edited

Not bad for the purest of the pure.? The High Mountain Route was intended by its originators to start in Tuolumne/Lyell.

Snow Creek, Mist, Sunrise and Tioga Road are just approaches.
