For Throwback Thursday, we're exploring Clouds Rest, Sunrise Lakes, and a little bit of Sunrise High Sierra Camp in Yosemite National Park! Full blog with photos: hike734.com/trip/clouds-rest-sunrise-lakes-and-sunrise-high-sierra-camp
From the forest along Tioga Road to the bare granite of Clouds Rest, this hike has you experiencing a variety of habitats and vantages, culminating to a panorama in the heart of Yosemite National Park with a special view of Half Dome down the ridge. A side trip to the three lakes that make up the Sunrise Lakes is a delightful bonus (or a lovely trip in and of itself) with their flower meadows, tree-lined lakes, and rugged granite backdrops. For those with some extra steam, a sneak peek into the valley where Sunrise High Sierra Camp sits gives you views of the lovely meadow with a serpentine creek and the serrated-edged Matthes Crest as a dramatic backdrop.
