The Sierra Nevada's Gem
... a bit time sensitive due to the early snowfalls that occur beginning at this time of year. We began our exploring driving through the Tioga Pass, which ends at an elevation of almost 10000 feet at the eastern side of the park. Incredible vistas at Olmsted Point, Tenaya Lake, Tuolumne Meadows and Tioga Pass entrance (where we had a snow fight!). Attempted to climb Lembert Dome but didn't have the rock climbing equipment ...

... we hiked along with them for the rest of the day.
Panorama Trail was our chosen route down, a 10 mile trek true to its name that provided scenic vistas along the ridge for a few miles. Jonas spotted a few waterfalls across the valley that we finally realized we would be hiking to, and we were excited that we could sort of see where the trail would take us for the next few miles.
