Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley Trail [CLOSED]

The hike from TuolumneMeadows to the valley starting at Tenaya lake is strenuous, but it allows you to stop at the high Sierra camp as well. The hike can be completed in 2 days each way with an overnight stop at Merced Lake, or can be extended to 4 days with extra nights at Little Sierra Camp and Half Dome. It takes about 2000 feet of elevation to get to the elevation you are currently at, and hiking almost 15 miles on granite can become quite hard on your feet. It is a great way to escape the crowds and see all the park has to offer, and you can go on this trek alone.
