Gaylor Lakes, Yosemite National Park
Total distance walked: 4.6 miles
My hiking buddy and I reached the trailhead earlier than usual. Anticipating heavy traffic on Friday due to the Labor Day holiday, we departed at dawn, only to be gladly mistaken. We entered Yosemite from the Arch Rock entrance and swiftly sailed over Tioga Pass. Our destinations were Gaylor Lakes, Granite Lakes, and the Great Sierra Mine.
