Oh poo. I was under the impression that they were pretty high up in the pack. Oh well, it was great seeing them nonetheless. Thanks for the info!
Connor, I think that those hikers were near the first. Just not the very first.
The traditional time for thrus to hike out of Kennedy Meadows northbound, is June 15. Snow is at least a month ahead this year, and peak snowmelt ahead of that. I hear that Glen Pass is the problem spot right now, but I think once past that, it is clear sailing.
