Do you if Yankee Jim was or is damaged ? maybe uphill toward Jardine might be best bet if I could nab a spot,might be crowded at these spots if Mammoth doesn't open or opens late.The thought of driving one thousand miles and have to scramble for a spot is making me second guess this trip.

Thank's Rick,I guess that Madison will be the only in park option for the spring

As a person with creaky joints(knees & hip) I remember it as not too bad,it seemed gradual with no steep inclines,I thought it did not get up to a high enough angle to get a really good pic and do not bother if it's cold as all you will see is steam that can obscure your view coming off the spring. ...
