An easy hike to a beautiful lake. There are some inclines but definitely worth the "stairmaster" feel. You can glimpse half dome on your way up. Once there, enjoy scenic views and quiet spaces!

This is a pretty good hike in Yosemite. I'm definitely glad we checked out the Toulumne Meadows area. It was a lot less crowded than the rest of Yosemite when we visited (October time frame)....
See a problem?
