[pct-l] July snow pack between Tuolumne Meadows and Lake Tahoe

[judson at jeffnet.org (Judson Brown)]

Between TM and Echo Lake, yes. From Echo Lake to I-80, a little less so-
mostly over Dicks Pass and around Tinker Knob-Sugar Bowl ski area. North of
I-80, don't worry about it. I hiked from Echo Lake Resort to Quincy last
summer starting on the 8th of July and saw only small, unobtrusive amounts
of snow in the areas mentioned.

You will also encounter some snow in the Marble Mountain Wilderness and the
Siskiyous around Mt. Ashland, but nothing that's going to cause you any
major problems, and only in the 1st couple of weeks in July. This is all
assuming a normal year, etc.

Is the early July snow pack a significant concern for hikers between
Tuolumne Meadows and Ashland Oregon?  The PCT Northern California guidebook
describes areas where snow and ice can be problems, but I would really
appreciate hearing from people that have hiked the trail. I am not a big fan
of hiking through the snow, but am prepared to suck it up and do so.
Thanks for your help,
Leo.
