Some crazy weather ya'll have in the Sierra Nevadas. I got hit by 3 separate storms, one from the east, one from the north and one from the south. Just rain, no lightning. Views are beautiful. I wound up going from the bike road instead of from the north access road because of snow. There is minor snow at the summit and along the way, maybe 0.5 miles total of the entire trip. The trail is 90% above tree line.
