Started at 7:45, parked outside the entrance to Yosemite, ranger greeted us but did not ask to see our reservation (had one just in case). Hike was straightforward, weather was gorgeous. Saw some other hikers, but it wasn't a madhouse for a summer Saturday. Just over 3 hours to ascend--that last 1000' of elevation gain was slow going for me. Spent some time on the top taking photos and eating snacks. Quick descent. Got some sprinkles once we were back at the car. Saw a couple pika on the way up and one marmot at the summit.
