Yosemite National Park » Vogelsang
Andrew, Serene, and I went backpacking in Tuolumne Meadows during 2005 July 4th weekend. We had intended to hike a loop passing through Vogelsang, Merced, and Sunrise Lake. There was a lot of snow even in July because of El Nino, and we didn't get very far into the meadows. We turned back after spending a night at Boothe Lake. We still had a great deal of fun on the trip, the highlight being lunch on the second day next to a lake. Andrew took a dip in the freezing water and Serene and I just waded in a little.
