It is rare occasion to have Tuolumne to your self and we treasured every minute of our time there. The combination of Hurricane Hilary down in southern CA, it being a monday, and that all the campgrounds are closed this year due to heavy snow resulted in seclusion in Tuolumne Meadows and Lyell Fork. We spent half the day passing through to the eastern Sierras then an entire day on the way back hiking Lyell Creek and Dana Fork , Ray fishing from time to time. The weather was cool, the skies blue and the air clean. Yosemite, especially Tuolumne has always been my “happy place” and favorite place in world. We are certainly fortunate to live so close to this treasure.
Then at sunset on to the Lee Vining through Tioga Pass.
