Evolution Valley in June?
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 3:26 pm
Hi- I'm planning a five day loop through Evolution Valley- entering from North Lake in the East, over Piute Pass to the JMT, then out of the valley over Lamarck Col back to the trailhead.
I'd usually think of this as a late summer route- but the only dates that will work for our family are in the middle of June. With such dry year, any thoughts on whether or not this would be passable by then? We will be above 12,000 feet on the passes. And if there's no snow- will what little there was to melt make the meadows too soggy and mosquito-filled?
Any advice appreciated!
