Myself,son and wife went to Young Lakes in northern Yosemite…When it was a 104 degrees in the Eastbay it was very nice and comfortable at around 9,500 feet. The mosquitoes were manageable and were only bothersome at creeks and streams. They were not a problem at all at Young Lake. We had to walk over a few patches of snow but also was not a problem. Here are a few pictures- the view was incredible looking towards Tuolumne Valley and the Sierra Mountains.
