[pct-l] Fw: Backcountry Yosemite

[giniajim]

The "plan" is to start at Happy Isles, go up Illilouette Creek Trail to Merced Pass Lake.  Then over Red Peak Pass to the Triple Peak Fork trail.  Then Merced Lake, Vogelsang, and Tuolumne Meadows.  
What's the "high trail"?

  This year, you WILL have a lot of mosquitoes in late July. I'd bring lots of 
  deet and a headnet. Try to find campsites on higher ground with a breeze if 
  possible. We are seeing more ticks so far this season (I'm at 5000') but I 
  don't know if there are any in the high elevations. If you are planning to 
  cross over Red Peak Pass (gorgeous!), you may want to see if it is snow free 
  by the time you go. In "normal" years, it is often snow bound into July. Will 
  you be taking the high trail?

  The last week in July, I'm going to be hiking in the Yosemite backcountry for 
  the first time in a long time and the first time in this particular section.
  Happy Isles to Illilouette Creek, across Clark Range to the Upper Merced 
  tributaries. Merced Lake, Vogelsang Lake to Tuolumne Meadows. Anyone have any 
  experience that time of year with mosquitoes and ticks? Or any thing else I 
  should think about?

  Thnx!
