Lotta snow!
I was in Sequoia National Park May 9-11 and there was a lot of snow left on the ground at the 7,000 foot level. It was melted off at Grant Village (about 6Kft.) but there were a lot of spots where things had barely started to grow. Judging from the raging rivers we saw (Kings and Kaweah), the melting is proceeding apace. I wouldn't want to be doing any stream crossings under those conditions! Like being tossed into a gigantic blender!
At that time the extraordinary California wildflower bloom was in the foothills, especially in the burned zone we passed through descending from Grant Village into Kings Canyon. Wow!

So, at what point did the devil go ice-skating past?

Good heavens, the Sierra are infested with hobbitses! Wonder where he got the wee outfit?
