Yosemite Mirror Lake Hike in Winter

Last weekend we ventured into Yosemite National Park to hike the Mirror Lake Loop Trail (see hikes ). We weren't looking for anything terribly difficult, but walking through all that snow (without snow shoes) definitely made it more challenging than last time . Despite appearances, the weather was pretty good. It was in the low to mid 50s, so we never even got a chill until the Sun approached the horizon a bit after 4:00pm.
