Does anyone know about conditions on "Benson Lake Loop" in northern Yosemite (Twin Lakes - Kerrick Canyon - Matterhorn Canyon - Twin Lakes)? Specifically, I'm wondering about downed trees from last winter's Mono wind event. Thanks in advance!

We didn't do the Kerrick canyon section, but the trail from Benson Lake to Twin Lakes via Mattherhorn Canyon was in great condition when we were there in early July.

I finally heard back from Yosemite NP Wilderness office. Their conditions report show trails in good shape, with no effects from Mono wind event.

Just did that loop 7/18-24. I was surprised at how little blow-down there was.
