| Hike Summary: | Walk to the back of the Tuolumne Meadows campground and pick up the John Muir Trail. Follow the flat trail over seasonal creek crossings through the forest, and emerge into the wide meadows of Lyell Canyon. Follow the lazy Lyell Fork up the canyon, passing numerous, tempting swimming and sunbathing spots. The hike is flat, easy, and scenic. Wander for 4 or 5 miles (or more!), then retrace your steps to the car. If you prefer to camp along the river, you will need a wilderness permit, and you must hike at least 4 miles from the trailhead. |
