Hi,
I was wondering what the best trail is for hiking up to and down from Volgelsang HSC. I will have kids with me so I'm thinking the least steep way up is best but not necessarily. It looks to me like the Rafferty creek route is best on the way up and Lyell Canyon is the best way down? Also, has anyone been up there lately as I'm wondering if there will be enough water in the rivers to filter water along the way through mid-August. How are the mosquitos up there?
Thanks!
Amanda
