Tuolumne Meadows to young Lakes: The three Young Lakes, nestled under
soaring Ragged Peak, offer a large selection of camp sites, some in heavy
woods and some at the timberline. Just a minor note: I noticed some confused hikers
returning early, they only went as far as Delaney Creek. Apparently, they
couldn't find the continuation of the trail from the creek bed. However, I
had no problem finding it. |
