> I did not see any flags, but the trail was in much better shape than I expected. It seems that someone has put some major time into building some LARGE, well-made cairns and building the trail in general.
I heard somewhere (or talked with a park employee on Dana -- not sure), that Yosemite NP was developing a plan to create a trail there, due to so many people hiking it.
When I was there several years ago (New Years Day!), it was only a use trail on the lower part, and nothing on the upper. It sounds like they have "improved" it to some degree.
