Day 1: Happy Isles Trailhead - Clark Point - Nevada Fall - West Quarter Dome
Day 2: West Quarter Dome - East Quarter Dome - Clouds Rest - Tenaya Lake
Day 3: Tenaya Lake - Tioga Road - Snow Creek Trail - Mirror Lake Trailhead
I planed to do this in 4 days but ended up finishing it in 3 days.
I brought 3 traction devices; microspikes, crampons and snowshoes. All of them were very helpful.
Based on the winter ranger report, there were 9.5 feet of snow.

I had a lot of ooohs and ahhhs watching this - amazing! Also one of my favourite songs too.❤❤❤
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
A frozen Tenaya lake under all that snow! A great view of this area that you don't see very often in these conditions. Very beautiful! I'm amazed how brave you are to hike to these remote places in the winter snow. Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.
Thanks Larry. Much appreciated.
Wonderful views that most us don't see with all that snow plus that song in the background, "awesome"
Thanks! Glad that you enjoyed the video.
Amazing, Awesome, and Inspiring...as always!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Beautiful. Thanks guys!
Thanks.
Beautiful 🎉
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Yah, that was good. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure again. I don't normally like "Woo-woo-woo" songs, but that piece is a step above. We'll be visiting home with our daughter and grandsons this summer. Looking forward to showing the boys California. All best regards from Germany
Haha. Can you give me an example of "Woo-woo-woo" songs? I am just curios. :)
@@YongsungKim A specific example escapes me. They often sound (to me) like the writer ran out of words and just stuck some "woo-woos" in.
@@inyobill I see what you mean. LOL.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Thinkin' about the sneak route up Medlicott, Tenaya Creek slides and Pywiack Falls.
Do you know how to get to Pywiack Falls?
@@YongsungKim Yes, several routes in--via Tenaya slides route or Airplane canyon (overgrown and very steep). Wouldn't recommend trying to rappel Pywiack, but there is a route down via steep slabs that circles around P. It does require rope and raps further down to exit at Valley. I have the beta if you want it. John Muir ascended from the valley to the top solo. Had a bad fall, but was OK. If you just want pics from a great location, I can send you map--it's on the shoulder of Mt. Wadkins. I hope to do both the slides route and Mt. W, jr. this year.
@@jcaff6963 Sounds fascinating. If you're willing to guide someone new to canyoneering, I would be thrilled to accompany you on the trip.
It is a beautiful scenery beyond words!!! I envy you.
Thanks Anna-nim.
nice video.
Thanks.
Fantastic views! Great snow!
Thanks my friend.
Beautiful
Thanks.
Fantastic 🙂
Thanks Petr.
this is so cool! i will definitely make sure to head to yosemite this spring
Yeah, you will not be disappointed.
simply awesome!!!! btw i made it to eagle tower on 2.12.2023 in a day hike and it was amazing!
Glad that you made it to eagle tower. :)
Headed there in a month plus a week!! Woot woot
Have fun. The waterfalls are fantastic this year.
I would send best wishes for a great trip, but no need, it will be.
@@YongsungKim Hello Sir. I really enjoy your videos for there production value, views and most of all for inspiration. This will be my 1st visit to the Valley of the Yosemite & Sequoia KC NP’s over memorial day weekend plus. I see now that Mist Falls are close to the top of Vernal due to ice. Sequoia’s Genl’s Hwy portion is closed. I do wonder how things will be in a month, besides muddy as the inevitable big melt starts. Still going ‘cause it will be a unique experience. Hope we’re able to get some good hikes in. I'm bringing snow shoes just on case. Cheers, Happy & healthy hiking🏔🌄
@@inyobill I imagine it is at any time of the year. Cheers
요세미티를 봄,여름, 가을에는 가보았는데... 겨울에는 못가봤어요... 이렇게 대신 볼 수 있어서 참 좋네요... ^^
감사합니다.
감사합니다.
언제갔는데 눈이 아직도 이렇게 많은거야? 폭포수가 시원하게 쏟아져 내리는구나. 늘 몸조심하고. 방에 누워서 보는데도 무섭다. 멋진 풍경 보게 해줘서 고맙다.
지난주말이었어. 고도가 낮은 지역에 그렇게 많은 물이 떨어질 수 있는 이유는 고도가 높은 지역에 저렇게 많은 눈이 쌓여 있기 때문이지. 지난 겨울에 역대급으로 많은 눈이 와서 올해는 아마 7월달까지도 다 안녹을거야.
If I lived in Bay Area, I would of loved to join you!
Maybe someday.
You have awesome adventures! Thank you for always sharing the views and magic. Did you take two days coming back from Tenaya Lake, or did you do that 14 miles in one day?
I came back in a day via snow creek trail. It's 10 miles downhill and took 8 hours for me.
where can i get a pair of those classical yongsung kim snow glasses??
Here it is. www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWS4TB4
I came to the park just days before you and did some snowshoeing around Crane Flat. The weather that week was absolutely perfect and waterfalls gushing. Thanks for sharing the journey! Did you see anyone else on the trails?
Hi Joe. I didn't expect to see anyone. But I met a skier near Olmsted point. He was much faster than us.
Very nice tour - great views - congrats ! How was the snow (consistency / walkability) ?
Thanks Catalin. As it was pretty warm, the snow condition changed a lot throughout the day. I used crampones or microspikes until 10am, snowshoes after that.
Love to see snow scenery! Wondering how long it took to get from the valley to west quarter dome on day 1. I'm considering doing this as an overnight out-and-back. What do you think? Are crampons/ice axe necessary before that point?
I started 7am and arrived at west quarter dome 4pm. Highly recommend that you arrive at the park entrance early, like 7am. I heard that it's quite common to take more than an hour to pass the entrance these days highway 140 is the only entrance opened.
Crampons will be helpful as the snow will be still pretty deep and soft. If you don't plan to climb Clouds Rest, you can leave ice axe behind. I needed ice axe only for the last 100 feet to Clouds Rest.
@@YongsungKim Any advice where to stay the night before to get to the park entrance that early? Or just leave the Bay Area super early?
I have a little secret to share about how I manage to go hiking so often in Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra-I never book a hotel. Instead, I follow a unique routine. On Friday evenings, I indulge in an early dinner accompanied by a glass of wine, and then retire to bed as early as 8pm. I wake up at 2am and hit the road to reach the trailhead. By starting my journey super early, I can shave off at least 30 minutes of travel time. As I pass the park entrance, I simply pause for a quick three seconds. It may sound a bit crazy, but trust me, it's not as bad as it seems.
@@YongsungKim I love the detail haha. That's dedication! It's hard for me to even wake up at 5am for these trips and that's not even close to early enough
Great video! How many feet of snow do you think there is on Tioga road ?
Based on the winter ranger report, it's 114 inches, which meets my observation.

Whate dates was this recorded
April 20
Love your videos but please be safe. Some really poor ice axe technique on the self arrest and holding the shaft of the axe while climbing.
It was the first time for my friend to use ice axe and crampones. We should have practiced more. I appreciate your concern.
You have much more determination than I. I gave up on Taft point on Saturday, far too much melt water under the snow making it unstable.
Taft point is also very hard to reach. What was your route? Did you bring snowshoes?
@@YongsungKim Dewey Point Meadow Trail to Pohono. Yes had snow shoes.
I'll probably try again next weekend. I got off trail.
