Does anyone know if Morrison Creek is still flowing near the trail between White Wolf and Pate Valley?

Hi All, doing a quick 3 day hike through Grand Canyon of Tuolumne from Tuolumne Meadows to White Wolf and wondering if anyone has been up there recently and could comment on the flow (or not) of Morrison creek. Yosemite rangers' last assessmet was mid June.
Thanks
Shawn

I just returned from this same trip and our group had the same question. We ended up carrying water from Harden lake only to find water in Morrison creek.

On the 15th there was a section of Morrison creek that had a slight flow of moving water that was of good quality. There was actually a few small trout living in it. Right around this area: 37.906905, -119.640824

This is pretty much right before you begin to drop altitude heading into the canyon. There was also a small trickle on the trail heading down that could be used if you really needed it.

5 bears encountered in 4 days. Only one rattler! Smoke was much better towards Glen Aulin.
