Day Hiking Mt. Watkins, Yosemite – Sweet Solace Off the Trail

Aug 26, ’12 · by · in On Adventures, Yosemite Day Hike

Trailhead: Olmsted Point, off of Tioga Rd / Hwy 41

Distance: ~ 9 miles out and back. Trail is fairly level with just enough climb in the way out that you will appreciate gravity’s help on the way back.

This picture is a lie... I definitely had more than 2 with my coffee that morning.
