I made a Tarp Tent several years ago and on the 2nd  thip in the sierra's it
snowed about 3"
one nite -- It was not a problem and I was as usual hot... I have a 15 deg
Helium Bag with a silk
liner.  Many of the Thru hikers use a tarp tent

Enjoy your Trip

Hello!
I know I should be able to look this up but am finding it confusing so
I figured I would just ask! Am thinking of trying a tarp "tent"
instead of a tent for a hike from yosemite to whitney in august and
september but have never used it anywhere cold enough at night to have
snow. Does anyone have experience with this type of "tent"? Either
way, how has the snow fall been this year? How cold does it typically
get at night in the high sierras/what is the coldest it may get?
Thank you so much!
