Tuolumne Meadows Vacation
Day 10
Pothole Dome hike
Thursday was a realtively relaxed day. Trish stayed back at the RV
and relaxed. Mom and Dad and I took the free shuttle up to Olmsted
Point. There, we walked up a small nature trail, and could see into
Yosemite Valley from the "back side".
On the way back, we got off the shuttle at Pothole dome. We ate lunch
on the dome's face, and Mom and I climbed to the top.
Rather than take the shuttle, we decided to walk from Pothole dome back
to the campground on a trail north of the road. This turned out to
be longer than expected, and Mom was very sorry she had only worn her tennis
shoes. It was a very beautiful walk, though.
That evening, we went to a very interesting ranger talk about glaciers,
ice ages, and global warming.
