I had not been to Cathedral Lakes for a few years. I was looking down on them from the saddle west of Budd Lake last year, and had to get back. I was glad that the outlet of Lower Cathedral Lake was still going. It was considerably smaller a few days later. It is always pretty short lived.by yosemitejim - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

I used to be disappointed when Yosemite Falls wasn't huge, but it still has its charms when it is smaller. I now think of it like the differences in season changes. Its kind of cool to see the different looks of Yosemite Falls. It can blow around like crazy when it is smaller.by yosemitejim - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

I crossed on 6/7. It was about a foot deep. It was a snap with water socks. Probably not too bad just taking boots off.by yosemitejim - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Here was Tuolumne Meadows near sunset on Tuesday 6/5. Temperature was near freezing. On Wednesday 6/6 I headed east from Tioga Road towards Medicott Dome. I headed south below the cliffs around 8800 feet. I came out alongside the outlet of Lower Cathedral Lake. Headed up to the base of the falls and crossed the stream(may be difficult if the stream was bigger). Headed south and up a dirtby yosemitejim - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I had planned on going straight up to the high country last Tuesday, but Tioga Road was closed for a bit. Heard that it was because of a downed tree. Went near the base of Sentinel Falls, while waiting for the road to re-open.by yosemitejim - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Any details or pictures from the base of Sentinel Falls. Sentinel Falls is one of my favorites and definitely overlooked. I went up Sentinel Creek a ways, a few years ago for a pretty good view of the falls. Seemed like you could keep going up the creek over a lot of rocks, or is there a better way?by yosemitejim - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
