Maybe there were some bears up on the top peeing into the creek or whatever it is that serves Horse Tail Fall. There sure wasn't much water. If you're seeing fabulous images of Yosemite's Fire Fall from 2012 - be wary! On the other hand the hiking has been terrific. There IS some snow on the valley floor but only in areas deeply shaded by the trees. Many of the meadows are marshy. The snow really begins about 6,000' or so. Mariposa Grove has a bit of snow on the ground - enough to makes the paths icy and (for people with my sense of balance) treacherous. We haven't seen many critters although the rangers and the bus drivers tell us they have seen many. No bears. No bears EVER! I think bears don't really exist and are only there to scare kids. Photos will come after I make it home. I miss the great company we might have had. Best to all! Jan & Adam Bridge
