Tioga Road

I took a Monday-Friday jaunt to the Sierra.  Need to do that more often!  I drove over to the eastern Sierra on the Tioga Road through Yosemite.  It's always spectacular, especially when turbulent clouds add drama.  This view is from Olmstead Point.

Love the granite!

I've loved Tenaya Lake for 35 years.

This granite dome seems to rise right out of the grass of Tuolumne Meadows.

Rugged terrain at Tioga Lake, just east of the pass.

And at the east end of Tioga Road...Mono Lake.

My destination was Convict Lake, just south of Mammoth Mountain.  Stayed in a cozy cabin, and strolled up to the lake at dusk.
