Hi,
I did 2 trips to Yosemite last year. The one in June (9-11) was only into LYV to camp and then did day hikes out of. For that trip Half Dome and Cloud's Rest (LYV side) and Panorama trail/Four mile were all dry (and freakin' hot until the big downpour) but there was supposedly snow on the Sunrise side of Cloud's Rest all the way to Tuolomne. My July (7-11) trip was from Tuolomne to LYV (via Clouds Rest/Half Dome) then up to Merced/Vogelsang and back to Tuolomne. All completely snow free and fantastic.
Based on last year supposedly being a high snowpack year and this year supposedly (per Farmers Almanac) being warm and dry for California (sorry) is a June 8-12 trip a reasonable tentative plan for Tuolomne-Glen Aulin-May Lake-Sunrise-Tuolomne or does anyone have a suggestion for that time of year? Because I am solo I do like to stick with the more popular routes to keep my husband happier.
P.s- for my July trip every hiker we passes complained about the Mosquitos but I came out of the entire hike with maybe a couple of bites, apparently they don't like me or my permethrin treated clothing so I'm not really worried about them- hope I didn't just jinx myself though.
I'll probably try for a Happy Isles or Tuolomne TH to Red's Meadow permit in late July/August so just like to get in an early Yosemite backpack trip too as that worked great last year.
