Distance-elevation chart
DAY 01
Ground squirrel sunning along the meadow
Potter Point and Amelia Earhart Peak off in the distance
First half of day 1, a walk in the park. Enjoy it while it lasts.
And to think that pretty soon you'll be looking down on Potter Point.
A few hours and several hundred calories later, looking back at TM after hiking the hill to Ireland Lake. Mammoth Peak is off to the right.
And Ireland Lake is still not visible. It is below Parson's Peak, but still quite a distance to go.
Resting before the last leg, and enjoying the view. Kuna Crest and Potter Point. It looks so insignificant from up here.
Ireland Lake.
DAY 02
View of Tuolumne Meadows, Ragged Peak, and what I think is Lembert Dome off to the far left.
Ireland Lake and Amelia Earhart Peak
Not sure what this peak off in the distance is. Mt. Florence?
A beach at Evelyn Lake. The sand is a welcome relief to tired feet.
The trail leading down to Vogelsang. This part of the trail was filled with wildflowers and bees.
Fletcher Lake. There was a waterfall below the left patch of snow.
Mt. Florence?
Vogelsang Lake at sunset
Vogelsang Lake at night
Polaris over the Vogelsang HSC
DAY 03
Vogelsang Lake at sunrise
View from the trail descending into Vogelsang. Emeric Lake, Half Dome and Cloud's Rest off in the distance.
Trail along Rafferty Creek descending into Tuolumne Meadows.
Anyone familiar with mushrooms? These were about the size of a football.
The footbridge leading back to the TMWC.
