Did this hike in the off season, and it was still pretty crowded. To avoid the crowds I suggest going in the early morning. But worth it no matter when you go.

This hike can be done in both the summer and winter and both are equally breathtaking. Be careful of the wet and mucky conditions spring through fall and don't be deterred by the extra 4k(ish) in the winter when the gate is closed. Just strap on a pair of snowshoes, its definitely worth it.

Even though I was in Yosemite in November, the weather was quite warm and the park was still busy. Because of this I decided to do a head lamp start and I highly recommend it. Most people thought I was crazy (even the friends I dragged along) to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning and start this hike. But let me tell you the benefits definitely outweigh disadvantages: 1. There is no one on the trail. 2. Its truly quiet. 3. Its cool. Trust me climbing those 2700ft sure works up a sweat. 3. You can get to the top for sunrise. 4. You have the whole place to yourself. 5. The way back down is way easier in the sun.
