Yosemite National Park: Tuolumne Meadows (in HD)
Tuolumne Meadows is a gentle, dome-studded sub-alpine meadowy section of the Tuolumne River, in the eastern section of Yosemite National Park. Its approximate location is 37°52.5′N 119°21′W / 37.875°N 119.35°W / 37.875; -119.35. Its approximate elevation is 8619 feet (2627 m). The meadow vegetation is supported by shallow groundwater. The water comes from 1,000 mm (39 inches) of precipitation annually, predominately in the form of snow. Water arises from snowmelt and hill-slope aquifers, and flows through the Tuolumne River, Budd Creek, Delaney Creek, and Unicorn Creek. In spring as soon as the snow melts, it is not uncommon to see large areas of the meadows flooded and practically transformed into a lake.[1]
The mountains of the Sierra near the meadows have some permanent snowfields: in the summer they are mostly free of snow. Although brief, the late spring and summer wildflower bloom in Tuolumne Meadows is host to a wide variety of California wildflowers, including the relatively rare Purple Webber, a type of lupin.
Plant species composition changes across the meadows with different landforms, landscape positions, and summer water-table depths. Areas with seasonal flooding and deep-standing water support the inflated sedge and Sierra willow. The main herbaceous wet-meadow species include alpine aster, nearly-black sedge, King's ricegrass, western bistort, Breweri's reed grass, and dwarf bilberry. Thread-leaved sedge, pussy-toes, Sierra lodgepole pine, and Ross sedge are found in drier uplands within or on the edge of the meadow.[1] Filmed, edited, and intro music by Sheety33.
Tuolumne Meadows - Yosemite National Park
In this episode of Cheap Family Travel ( Nick, Regan, Maggie and Kate visited Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park in California. Tuolumne is one of the best kept secrets in Yosemite. This beautiful meadow comprises the eastern edge of the park and is one of the largest high elevation meadows in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. During peak tourist seasons, Tuolumne is way less crowded than Yosemite Valley. Tuolumne offers beautiful scenery, clear rivers, pristine lakes and rugged granite cliffs. You can actually hike trails all by yourself. We visited Olmsted Point with its beautiful view of Half Dome. We picnicked at Tenaya Lake and hiked to the top of Lembert Dome for an amazing view of the entire meadow. You have got to enjoy the peaceful, beautiful serenity of Tuolumne Meadows.

Backpacking and Fly Fishing Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park
On this episode of Rigged 'N' Ready we take you backpacking and fly fishing along the Tuolumne River in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park. Taken during the first week of September 2013, we spent 4 days and 3 nights in an out and back on the John Muir Trail, surrounded by the most amazing scenery, catching the most gorgeous fish on fly. The Sierra's, in our opinion, are the most beautiful mountain range in the entire United States and Yosemite National Park is an absolutely incredible place to spend a few nights in the wild.

Yosemite National Park Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Yosemite – an American story unlike any other. Follow us through the national park from its high country to its waterfalls, its towering sequoia groves to its valley meadows.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Yosemite National Park:
#YosemiteNationalPark sits on the western slopes of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. Most visitors spend their #vacation in Yosemite Valley, which despite being only 7 miles long and 1 mile wide, packs in more jaw-dropping scenery than just about any other place on Earth.
#Visit Tunnel View and stand before a panorama that’s reduced generations of visitors to silence. The Yosemite Valley ring road follows the banks of the Merced River, which shifts in character as it thunders from the valley walls, before gently winding across the valley floor. The ring road is dotted with trailheads that lead to 800 miles of hiking trails.
Drive along Tioga Road, one of the USA’s most scenic highways. Fill your lungs with alpine air at Olmsted Point, refresh yourself by the waters of Tenaya Lake, then spend the day at Tuolumne Meadow, the traditional summer hunting grounds of the Ahwaneechee.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Tuolumne River | Yosemite National Park
Explore the Tuolumne River from its glacial headwaters at 13,000 feet down through Tuolumne Meadows and into the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne. Scientists and rangers describe the power this river has on the landscape and on the people who visit it.
Yosemite National Park covers nearly 1,200 square miles of mountainous terrain in the Sierra Nevada of California. From high peaks and deep canyons to ancient forests and quiet meadows, the diversity of the world is on display here. At Yosemite you can see the tranquillity of the High Sierra, the power of glaciers, giant sequoia groves, thundering waterfalls, clear streams and much more. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is also home to hundreds of wildlife and plant species. Two Wild & Scenic Rivers, the Tuolumne and Merced rivers, begin in the park and flow west to the Central Valley. Visitors experience the park's 800 miles of hiking trails and 282 miles of road.
Visitors fall in love with the park's many waterfalls, specifically 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls that ranks as the tallest in North America, flowing down into the scenic Valley meadows. Hikers take notice of the enormous granite mountains from the 8,842-foot Half Dome to the 13,114-foot Mt. Lyell-Yosemite's tallest peak. Glaciers, which John Muir sought out in California as well as Alaska, add into the mix with the Maclure and Lyell still intact.
It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter. —John Muir
Animals: Yosemite supports more than 400 species of vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Overall, the park's widespread coniferous forests--with a relatively mild climate and a mixture of plant species--provide a lush habitat for animals to live. Wildlife species typically found include mule deer, black bear, bobcat, gray fox, mountain kingsnake, Gilbert's skink, white-headed woodpecker, brown creeper, spotted owl, and a wide variety of bat species. Black bears in Yosemite are active both day and night. Most bears that rely on natural food sources are active during the day. However, those that get food from people are often active at night, when they can quietly sneak around and grab unattended food.
Plants: Move up or down in elevation and feel as though you are in another park. Vegetation changes from oak woodlands to chaparral scrublands to lower montane to upper montane to subalpine to alpine. Those who step into the alpine zone can see krummholz whitebark pines and perhaps a western juniper or mountain hemlock. Scientists study many individual plants, including the black oak, to understand its future challenges.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
Yosemite is open all year, though some areas of the park are inaccessible by car from approximately November through May due to snow.
Distances and Driving Times From: San Francisco/Bay area (195 mi, 4-5 hours); Sacramento (176 mi, 4 hours); Reno & Lake Tahoe (June through October, conditions permitting, 218 mi, 5 hours/All year, 315 mi, 8 hours); Los Angeles area (313 mi, 6 hours); San Diego area (441 mi, 8 hours); Las Vegas (June through October, conditions permitting, 642 km, 8 hours / November through May, 797 km, 8-10 hours)
Drivers can enter Yosemite National Park by several routes:
From the West and Most Scenic: CA Hwy 140
This route is by far the most scenic drive into Yosemite National Park and the best way to go if you're visiting for the first time. It's open most of the time and passes through the towns of Mariposa and Fish Camp. It's also a popular route for people driving to Yosemite from the San Jose area.
From the West: CA Hwy 120
Open most any time, this route goes through Oakdale and Groveland and is often used by visitors from the San Francisco Bay area and northern California. It passes through fruit and almond orchards, small agricultural towns, fruit stands and ranches in the rolling foothills before ascending sharply up the Priest Grade to Big Oak Flat and the old gold mining town of Groveland.
From the South: CA Hwy 41
From US Hwy 99 at Fresno, Hwy 41 runs north and west toward Yosemite's South Entrance, which takes you through the towns of Oakhurst and Fish Camp and into the park near the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and Wawona.
From the East: CA Hwy 120 and Tioga Pass
To find out more about traveling this route, average opening and closing dates, check the guide to the Tioga Pass.
From the East: Other Mountain Passes
Other mountain passes that can get you across the Sierras near Yosemite include the Sonora Pass (CA Hwy 108), Monitor Pass (CA Hwy 89) and Ebbetts Pass (CA Hwy 4). Snow may also close these routes in winter, but they are sometimes open when Tioga Pass is still snow-clogged.

Most Beautiful Road in California | Tuolumne Meadows | Tenaya Lake | Tioga Pass | Yosemite
When you visit Yosemite in summers, you most definitely cannot miss driving through the Tioga Pass - because it is the most beautiful road in California ever!! So after spending a day at the Yosemite valley, next day we just took our car for a drive - drove through Tioga Pass, stopped by at Tenaya lake for some lunch and to gorge in the views, before heading over to Tuolumne meadows to let serenity take over!
There is something about this place - cannot pin point it - but I think I left a part of my heart back here.
Pardon the shaky footages, because this was my first time vlogging - but if you like it or find it useful, please like it, leave a comment, and do Subscribe!!

Yosemite National Park - RV Living
Next stop - Yosemite National Park!! There are 5 main areas within Yosemite; Yosemite Valley, Mariposa Grove, Glacier Point, Tuolumne Meadows and Hetch Hetchy, and we decide we're going to see all 5! We set up camp at Hodgdon Meadow Campground and get started exploring. The first stop is to Mariposa Grove to see the giant Sequoias, on our way back we catch a beautiful sunset at Tunnel View. We drive through Yosemite Valley with awe-inspiring views of Half Dome and El Capitan and hike the Mist Trail up, up, up to Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls. We find a dog-friendly paved trail at Glacier Point and are awarded with our best view of Half Dome, ending our week with a drive up Tioga Pass to Tuolumne Meadows and down the sketch sketchy road to Hetch Hetchy (heyo!) where we learn about the O'Shaughnessy Dam. It was a bit of an ambitious challenge that included countless miles and hours of driving, but we can now check Yosemite National Park off the list!

Tuolumne River, Yosemite National Park, California DSCN2247
6/18/2013 - Tuolumne River near our campsite at the Tuolumne Meadows Campground in Yosemite National Park, California. Our campsite was 65A and I highly recommend it. Could listen to the river all the time, go out onto the flat granite on the stream shore to get some sun. Just wonderful. More photos and videos of our 4 day camping trip to Tuolumne Meadows, Mono Lake, and Yosemite Valley here:
