We stayed in Yosemite for a second night (probably because I’m cheap and the camping didn’t cost much). Day two, after packing up, we went to find the Cathedral Lakes. It was about a 45 minute drive to get there, all inside the park, which is of course, huge. We stopped off at a side-lake on the way, though I can’t remember the name any longer. And, just now, upon looking up the link, I realize that we completely failed to hike the extra .5 miles to Upper Cathedral Lake… seems like the plural in the hike name would have been a hint. Oh well, we’ll have to go back.
Between the drive and the hike, this took most of the day. We got back to the visitor center area just before sunset, shot a few pictures and stopped in the store for souvenirs before heading out.
This was the lake we stopped at on our way out which I cannot remember the name of.
I think that's the 'back side' of Cathedral Peak as seen later.
