Tuolumne Meadows. I've been here a few times but still
can't pronounce this correctly ;-) Standing at 8600 feet elevation this
subalpine meadow is an eye treat. The wide grassy fields are surrounded
by snow-capped peaks and in spring and midsummer the meadow fills with
wildflowers. Some streams are running through the meadows and fishing is
popular. Many hikes in the high country begin here. There is a general
store that stocks last-minute hiking supplies, a few tent-cabins (all
full in summer), a restaurant with pricey but good food and a picnic area.
