Marble Falls

At present, deep snow crushes trails in the High Sierra. In fact, the NPS Sequoia website said mountain passes may not be open until early August. few lower elevation paths are open, such as the Marble Falls trail out of Potwishia. Rivers and waterfalls are engorged with snowmelt right now. I hiked the Marble Falls trail on April 30th, 2011.
