Snowy Trail, Sunny Slopes
2 days after Tioga Road opened there was still lots (3-4 feet) of snow here. But it was very hikable on the crusty top from Cathedral Lakes trailhead and was able to navigate to Fairview Dome's south side and go up. Had summit (and maybe entire sub-range) to myself.

afternoon hike
Very satisfying hike but got a bit of altitude sickness on the way down even at 9'000 ft. after coming straight up from the Bay area. Bummer.
