The Cedar Grove area is a little more secluded and at lower altitude than the rest of the park so was about 103 F in July, while it was a few degrees cooler (but not by much) up at Princess campsite. About halfway to Cedar Grove before you get to Boyden's Cave, there is a little concession stand that sells ice cream, gas, and can refill your propane tank.
Plenty of shady hikes near the river. Zumwalt Meadow to Roaring River Falls is an easy and shady hike with no elevation climb and calm meadows. The hike follows the river and is a bit rocky and sandy in some spots. We spotted deer several times near the river. Zanawyer Loop is a different view of ferns and grasses with view of looming granite walls and partial shade. The trail is a little more compacted under your feet and feels more like the forest floor. As you hike toward Muir Rock, you can see golden trout jumping for flies!
The lodge has a convenient little market and a decent snack bar for burgers and sandwiches. Coin-operated showers and laundry are available, although they didn't seem to be open when we were there. There is indoor/outdoor seating, and wadding by the river at the lodge.
Overall, a wonderful experience.
