We will be in South Lake Tahoe in a couple of weeks dropping off a family member for the TRT hike. I had thought of spending a night in the eastern Sierra and then coming back over 120 (assuming I could get a permit) so I could hang out in Tuolumne meadows and see some marmots. I love watching the marmots.
However, was just reading about the construction on Tioga Rd. Have no interest in driving on gravel for miles or getting stuck in construction traffic. :-(
So thinking we will take 108 or 4 back to the bay area. Any suggestions for places along either highway where the odds of seeing a marmot are good?
