Beautiful Day in Tuolomne Meadows - Yosemite

Chris had a relaxing day in Tuolomne Meadows this week and hiked on the Glen Aulin Trail along the Tuolomne River.

Trailhead parking for Glen Aulin Trail is located at the Lembert Dome turnoff. The trail is 13 miles round trip to Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, with an elevation change of only 600'. The trail follows the beautiful Tuolomne River and gives way to spectacular views of granite domes. 

The Tuolomne River is exceptionally clear with lots of perfect dipping pools (in the latter part of summer after the spring run-off has gone down) and picnic spots.

Perfect spot to take a dip on a warm summer day!

Fantastic Granite Views!

And Granite Trails...

Beautiful meadows with Queen Annes Lace...

and Lupin...

Ahhh...a relaxing day!

Time to soak in the cool river!
