Great pics, Alex. I didn't notice the date on your post and I thought it was much later than May. Things look a bit dryer than they normally do in May. Although, it does very from year to year.

Assuming the exif information in the photos is correct most of them were taken May 25 which is later in the month than I thought it had been.

It was beautiful weather (though still cold at night) but the river was still running pretty full.

I've been there in August and that river is still churning. Actually, the coldest camping trip I think we've ever done was Tuolume Meadows in mid-August. That was the year they didn't even open up Tioga until July 1 due to the snow. It was 27 at night in Whilte Wolf Campgroud. We were NOT prepared. I think I bought my first polartec that trip.
Oh, that was also the trip Chris saw his first "Large Black Dog" in the forest. It was running.....fast. Luckily it was running away from us because it wasn't a dog.

Did you notice my large black dog photo in the middle of the slideshow? Boy was I missing my long lens at that moment.
