Looking for a trail to hike late July

Pct – still a lot of snow in late July.  Depends on year.

Tuolumne meadows to Vogelsang pass; down the the cutoff to Triple Divide well above Merced Lake. A very great side trip, which may be the highlight of your hike, takes you off trail up to the backside of Lyell Peak. Magical. Then continue on towards Triple Divide. Explore around that area, remaining up high. Drop down to Triple Divide proper. Then you have two alternatives: ascend again towards Reds Peak pass and over into that basin; OR, continue down towards Merced lake and then take one of three routes back up towards Sunrise camp. You don’t have to stay there! It’s crowded in season, but the views are truly beautiful. Then spend an easy day hiking back to Tuolumne Meadows.

This is more of a 60-80 mile hike, depending on how much exploration you choose to do. The off trail to the backside of Lyell is a one to two day affair, even though the mileage is minimal. Etc. etc.
