The day begins along a series of meadows along Lyell Canyon.
Entering Yosemite National Park, Lembert Dome is a good example of the mountains of solid rock, favored by climbers.
A sign explains how glaciers smoothed over the rock, except the very highest peaks, such as Cathedral Peak.
(Tuolumne campground store is closed, due to open in a couple of days.) A park ranger hikes by and does check my permit and asks about my recent hike. After a waterfall, the trail gradually climbs.
I camp among 50% snow cover at 9.5k elevation, about six miles from Benson Pass, 10.1k.
Finished audiobook The Laughing Cavalier (Ancestor of the Scarlet Pimpernel), by Baroness Orczy.
