Hiking in the Hetch Hechty Area?

[andre]

I am thinking about hiking from Hetch Hetchy to the Beehive Meadows and Laurel lake area for a night in the 2nd week of August. I was wondering if anyone has any info on that area that would be pertinent for that time of year. Any suggestions on good campsites. Any highlights that shouldn't be missed. What kind of temps to expect.
Thanks

Because that area is relatively low elevation, conditions should be normal there in August. Temps can range from about 30 degrees at night (butr more likely mid-40s) to 80s in the day ( and possible into the 90s)

Laurel lake and Lake Vernon are lovely...but the best part of that area is cross country and off the trails.

Don't miss the views of Hetch=hetchy from the north rim of the canyon..you have to hike off trail a bit to get the best views
