On Sunday, enjoyed a nice dinner at the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge:



(But in all fairness, there are a number of signs around the lodge where it's named only as the Tuolumne Lodge (no Meadows in the name). But not once did I see a sign on the property referring to it as the Tuolumne Meadows HSC. )



But anyway, after the dinner had some time to take this 720º photosynth from a nearby dome:

Enjoy!

It's shorthand to denote a 360º horizontal panorama + 360º vertical panorama in one photo.

Because after they spin you around they pull the wool over your eyes.





Be warned... you've been duped.

Thought so...

The Tuolumne Meadows High Sierra Camp was separate from the Tuolumne Meadows Lodge:

“The Tuolumne Meadows camp ... was established in the summer of 1916. The
camp was abandoned during World War I. It reopened in 1923 under management of the Yosemite National Park
Company. At that time the hikers’ camp consisted of dormitories and a dining room. The men’s dorm was a one-story
portable section frame building with canvas walls and roof. A similar structure existed for women hikers. The dining
room structure, built in 1923, also used as a kitchen, comprised a one-story portable section frame building with canvas
walls and roof. Lodging and meals could be secured for $0.75 each. The nearby Tuolumne Meadows Lodge was made up
of the earlier camp buildings. It consisted of fifty canvas cabins, a frame lodge with canvas walls built by the Desmond
Company in 1916, frame and canvas bathhouses, and an icehouse and barn, also built in 1916.”

(Underline added for emphasis)

No tent cabins 1,2, or 3?

Cabins 1-3 are south of the dining room/kitchen complex... but I believe they are slated for removal due to their proximity to the river.
