The Journey Begins TYT 2009 Day 1

We finally get to start walking! Todays hike will take us from Tuolomne Meadows to Miller Pond.
We woke this morning to the hustle and bustle of hikers getting their gear together to begin their hike south on the John Muir Trail. We on the other hand are heading northbound leaving the crowds far behind. This section of Yosemite sees far less people and yet contains some of the most beautiful parts of the entire park. Lucky us!!!!

Today on our hike, we saw Tuolomne Falls, walked our way past one of the Yosemite High Sierra camps, Glen Aulin where we had lunch and a quick foot soak in a nearby stream before continuing North on the PCT through Cold Canyon towards our final destination for the day.


After hiking about 19 miles we came upon a grassy area surrounding Miller Pond. The pond was going to make a quiet and beautiful campsite for our first night in the backcountry. Man, I love in out here!!
