Comments: This was the second time this year that we used Spuller Lake Loop as a back-up hike. The first because of high heat at lower elevations and this time because the government shutdown that closed Yosemite Park. The snow, rocks and views make this a spectacular hike. Stefanie and Dan walked the extra mile to fetch the cars.
