This is the seventh of a series of posts on hikes and strolls undertaken during a 5-day CA road trip.
Date: September 3, 2017
Location: Yosemite National Park, CA
On Saturday evening, as I looked up options for a moderate 2-3 hour hike I could do during my drive over Tioga Road the next day, I chanced upon a description of Gaylor Lakes, and it seemed just perfect. It is also the highest trailhead in Yosemite, being right at Tioga Pass.
