[pct-l] JMT: advice needed on best time to hike

[emiraglia@mac.com (Eric Miraglia)]

I am hoping to hike the JMT portion of the PCT southbound from Tuolomne 
Meadows in Yosemite to Buckeye Flat in Kings Canyon this summer.  After 
reading through as many PCTer journals as I could find, it sounds to me 
that the mosquitoes are horrendous enough to make the trip unpleasant at 
certain times.  I'm wondering if there are times when the weather is 
still nice (ie, long days, warmer/dryer weather) but the mosquitoes are 
less obnoxious along this stretch of trail?  Or are mosquitoes just a 
constant nemesis for the JMT throughout the July-September hiking window?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,
-Eric
