Hello all,
This forum was very helpful in my planning the family trips to Yosemite in 2005 and 2011. We were able to stay in Tuolumne Meadows in '11 after having missed the opening of Toga Road by one day in 2005. I would like to visit the eastern Sierras in 2013 by staying in Mammoth or the June Lake area. The Ansel Adams Wilderness area looks fantastic, especially places like the Pinnacles. But the family is concerned about the mosquitoes, which were brutal in mid July 2011. I would assume the mosquitoes are about the same on the eastern side as in TM? We are looking at a mid July visit by flying into Tahoe and heading south to the Mammoth area. I realize weather/water is the main factor in how bad they might be, just trying to verify that the eastern Sierras are about the same as TM in terms of the impact of these blood suckers? I'm ready to just get net headgear, but I may be alone on the trip. Thanks for any input or advice for me, and I always keep yosemitenews bookmarked!
