Simmons Peak

Last weekend I went up Simmons Peak. You can see it from everywhere so it has good views, but hardly anyone goes up there. Last year only two people signed the log book.

There isn't much snow left. Mosquitos were pretty tame around the meadows, annoying from Tuolumne Pass to Vogelsang Pass, not too bad after that.

Real nice part of the park.

Very nice. That's one of my favorite areas of the park. Thanks for posting.

Great stuff as always. Looks like you were way above Cathedral Peak.

Thanks for the trip report, the photos and the link to even more photos! Can never get tired looking at all of these great photos of the Yosemite backcountry!

Matthes Crest, Tuolumne Peak

I think there's a pink chicken somewhere down there.

A little more to the left.

Some really cool trip reports are coming in. It must be that magical time of year.

June in Yosemite usually is.
