Excerpt from Yosemite Nat'l Park news release 6/21/05:

The National Park Service and DNC Parks and Resorts at Yosemite, Inc. jointly announced that five High Sierra Camps (May Lake, Merced Lake, Vogelsang, Sunrise, and Glen Aulin) will not be opened for the 2005 visitor season. The decision to keep the High Sierra Camps closed was based on the unusually heavy winter snowpack and existing snow and water conditions.

A posting on SummitPost (http://www.summitpost.org/show/mread.pl?f_id=22&t_id=18054), regarding conditions in Tuolumne, 6/28/05:

I was in the Meadows this past weekend and made it up Amelia Earhart and wanted to pass on snow conditions. Traveling through Lyell Canyon there were numerous river crossings since the river levels are so high. About 9.5k on the JMT we hit patches of snow 3-4 feet deep in the shade and postholed a few times. This isn't bad though since once you hit the tree line conditions are almost solid snow. The E face of AE had some bare patches where large boulders stuck through but we were able to glissade from 12k down to around 10.5k. The snow is solid and crampons worked great...very little postholing. Lyell and McClure looked to be about the same from our viewpoint. Weather was great, I have quite a sunburn. :)
