I am doing the North Lake/ South Lake Loop in a couple weeks and I am looking for the best place to find up to date weather? Also, if anyone has any recent reports on trail conditions they would be greatly appreciated also. I have been getting some great updates on the JMT 2017 FB page.

Caltopo.com. Â Point to the position where you want a forecast. Â Right click. Â Select “point info”. Â Select “NOAA forecast”. Â You’ll get the forecast for that exact spot.
