Tenaya Lake is located along the Tioga Road (Hwy 120)
about seven miles west of Tuolumne Meadows. The lake is beautiful, clear
blue and surrounded by the sheer slopes. Here you'll find a few beaches,
ample parking and a picnic area. Many hikes in to the high country start
from here. Crowded during the day, the lake becomes very peaceful in the
late afternoon. It's also open to swimming for those who don't mind the
chilly water.
