Phono Trail weather

Postby Bholt@southpace.com » Sat Jul 06, 2013 3:18 pm

Hiking Pohono from GP to Wawona next week (7/12-7/14). Weather for the valley says high 80's and mid 50's. What can I expect on the trail?

A little bit cooler than that. That trail isn't that much higher than the Valley itself. Subtract 3 degrees for every thousand feet of elevation, and you might see something like the high 70s in the day, and the 40s at night. That's pretty typical weather for summer here.
