Sorry for the late reply. As far as I can tell the grasses have grown in, but you can see for yourself from my gallery: http://geohsia.smugmug.com/gallery/1616281 I didn't get very far off the main roads just because this was my first time there and I was still getting to know the area. My guess is that it'll still be fairly green at the beginning of August, but you'll def. see signs of the meadow drying out. Hi Randy. Sorry for the late reply.

I didn’t get very far off the main roads just because this was my first time there and I was still getting to know the area. My guess is that it’ll still be fairly green at the beginning of August, but you’ll def. see signs of the meadow drying out.

All 3 will make for a really bad trip. We were there on July 2 and mosquitos were not bad if you have repellent but it will be getting worse. I have been up there when repellent was no good.

George, how were the meadows looking right now? Have the grasses grown in yet, or still have a ways to go? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that with this late opening that it'll still be fairly green at the beginning of august(though brown and bug free isn't sounding too bad either ;-). Thanks for the replies.

Tere is a lot of standing water and there were tons of mosquitos. I had on 100% deet and had to re-apply at the end of the day. Deet worked like a charm, but a few did get through. I don't know what its like in August, but I hear once the standing water dries up the mosquito problem diminishes significantly. I just got back from a day trip to Tuolumne Meadows.

Personally, I would order the bug net. June two years ago the mosquitoes were really bad at the Tuoumne Meadows campground. Personally, I would order the bug net.

I'm going to be up there at the beginning of August, any guess if I'm going to be bug bait? I'll be bringing lots of repellant and am considering ordering the bug net for my Kelty child carrier(my daughter's not too fond of mosquitos).
