[pct-l] Snow Conditions Past KM



And then add another 8-10 days to Tuolumne Meadows - if you don't stop at
Independence or VVR/Reds Meadow (but you will). So, about 2 weeks. I
remember in 2000 folks leaving from KM on June 15th and being in Tuolumne
before the 4th of July, including Whitney and VVR.

But, this is one of the most beautiful stretches, so taking more time is
advised.
