Tuolumne Meadows
Tuolumne Meadows is a sector of the National park of Yosemite in the Sierra Nevada (California). It is close to the Tuolumne River. Its geographical coordinates are: . Its altitude is approximately 2627 meters. It is possible to make camp-site there. Several million years ago, Tuolumne Meadows was under a great thickness of ice. Today, the glacial forms of the relief always mark the landscape. But the flora is varied and the flowers paper the ground in spring and in summer (Dodecatheon, Mimulus, Populage of the marshes, etc). Footpaths, more or less difficult, leave the road and the information center. One can thus join camp-sites located 12/16 kilometers. The road climbs until an altitude of: 3000 m with Tioga Not, the east of the park. To this place, a way goes up to: 3200 m of altitude then go down again in Middle Gaylor Lake before arriving at the ruins of a stone hut, which constitutes the remainders of a mine of money exploited at the 19th century.
