Friends of the Rubicon are once again recommending staying off the trail during the high melt period and the short time after when the trail is the wettest without snow on it. This includes MD weekend and probably the first few days of june too.
If you do choose to go please remember to TREAD SMARTLY The means not only tread lightly but know when to put the hammer down and when to take it easy. The Sierras are a sensitive ecosystem, the harsh conditions cause things to grow slowly. A tree that looks 10 years old could be more like 100.
When the dirt is still wet from snow melt, it breaks up faster. This last weekend I was at Loon Lake and saw 4-6 feet of snow with drifts up to almost 8 feet. At 70 degrees it "can" melt a foot a day. There has not been a 70 day yet. It was about 60-61 on Sunday. Sac is forecast to be in the 70s for several days meaning the high country is going to be 10-20 degrees cooler.
