Melissa,
Make sure you are listening to all the advice given so far. Early May is extremely bold for a day hike unless you and your group have experience with snow/glacier travel, proper crampon use, ice axe arrest, etc. There won't be any visible trail above Lone Pine Lake other than what others have taken before you and your group. The upper mountain above Outpost Camp will be covered with snow with areas of ice as well. Once you get above Trail Camp you will be traveling up and down the chute as the switchbacks won't be usable this year until somewhere around late June to early July due to the snow pack being at 150% this year.
Read everything you can in this Forum for posts from past years. There is a lot of good information about peoples experiences.
Good luck and be safe. Remember the mountain will always be there.
