2018 Yosemite National Park — 5/28 Tioga Road （八）Tenaya Lake

接下來的景點心裡有數是Tenaya Lake,期望在剛開放沒多久的Tioga Road,能看到結著冰的湖水!但是看到路旁的冰雪全消失了,心情像洩了氣的皮球.

沿路越來越有Yosemite的味道,大理石的岩壁錯落在路的兩旁.

這段路在2015年也來來回回開了3~4回,再次一遊仍覺得新鮮!

This roadside lake is the largest natural lake in Yosemite. It is also one of the easiest to get to while Tioga Road is open in the summer - steps from the road. Named after Chief Tenaya who met the Mariposa Brigade near its shores, the lake was formerly known as Pieweack (Lake of the Shining Rocks.)

哈哈,沒錯,這真是優勝美地國家公園中最容易到達的湖泊(就在路旁),只是沒想到也是國家公園內最大的天然湖泊.

Tenaya Lake is popular for water activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and sailing. You can fish with a license. You can also swim in the lake but the water is very cold. Two picnic areas are available, one of them is wheelchair accessible.
雖然資料上說這湖可以玩許多水上活動,或許是五月還太冷了,湖上看不到任何canoe或是kayak,覺得有點可惜!

Tenaya Lake is located in Yosemite’s high country or alpine region of Yosemite National Park, located between Yosemite Valley and Tuolumne Meadows. The surface of Tenaya Lake has an elevation of 8,150 feet.
這高山湖泊的水真的清透沁涼!

Hiking is also a popular activity in the Tenaya Lake area. Trailheads lead to Cathedral Lakes, Clouds Rest, Half Dome, and the Yosemite Valley floor, the later passing by Olmsted Point (above.)
