We have reservation for Ten Lakes trail first week of Aug. Rather than looping through to May Lake, and scarce water on the way, thought we might camp around basin for a few days, fish and do day hikes and return back same way via Yosemite Creek. Any reasonable way to access Toulumne River/Grand Canyon or other off trail day hikes from basin?
I was at Young Lakes a few weeks ago and mosquitos were intolerable. Will they be that bad at Ten Lakes? Grant Lakes? Maybe spend a night or two where trail crosses S. Fork of Cathedral Creek?
Thanks.
