Hi All, I am visiting Tuolomne Meadows area in last weekend of July and plan to hike Glen Aulin, Lyell Cannon. I'd like to know: 1. Whether the meadows will be green with wildflower bloom. 2. Waterfall flow in Glen Aulin waterfalls. 3. Since, I have secured a reservation in Glen Aulin high sierra camp what is the best place to parking my car at the trail head and any precautions to beby akash.srivastava - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Got it. So as you suggested, I will hike both Glen Aulin and Polly dome lakes out and back with Glen Aulin on first day and Polly dome on second day with May lake thrown in to make it a full day hike.by akash.srivastava - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thanks for input. I think I will skip camping this time... really not comfortable with bear encounter and solo camping. May be next time.by akash.srivastava - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thanks for input. The idea to include Murphy Creek was to include Polly Dome lake, which is 5 miles round trip. I thought that instead of returning back to Tioga Road and then driving to Toulomne Meadows to hike Glen Aulin - it would be better to add another 1.8 miles and join Glen Aulin. This will make a total 12 miles loop. What do you think.by akash.srivastava - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Thanks for inputs. I think given my track record, I should start this hike by 08:00 AM so as to finish and reach Toulomne meadows by sunset.by akash.srivastava - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
Awesome. What's the name of the waterfall in first photograph.by akash.srivastava - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra
I am a newer hiker who is kind of rebooting his love for outdoor with a few hikes in Yosemite under my belt. Mostly solo like Panorama Trail, Mist Trail, Pohono Trail up to Inspiration Point, Taft Point and Sentinel Dome.. I would like to take a trip in Yosemite's Tuolomne Meadows region to see the beautiful high country that I have seen in pictures and read about here.
