I spent two lazy, blissful hours sitting by this lake all by myself on a sunny October day. It was the last day of my three day backpacking trip in the Tuolumne Meadows wilderness area. The shimmering blue lake surrounded by the granite peaks of the Sierra range makes for a gorgeous setting in which to enjoy a quiet, reflective afternoon.

This was a nice, moderate hike. The steep upward grade at the very beginning was probably the most challenging part. I would say the payoff of being spit out into the Cathedral Peak Basin was well worth it! The boulders, the lakes, and the haunting view of Cathedral Peak towering over everything was surreal.
