Clouds Rest in Yosemite

Sometimes there's snow melt to wade just to get started.
​Sometimes you can't see the rocks, although most times it's dry.

The Clouds Rest Foot Trail
That's what the sign says, although I thought all of this was a foot trail.
It just keeps going up from here.
​In fact, it goes over a 1/4 mile from here.
