Notes To My Mother

If you take highway 120 over to 395 you will come to a turnout a bit west of Tuolumne Meadows, called Olmstead Point.  If you are there near sunset it is definitely a place to take a break and bathe in the views.  To the west you will see Half Dome in golden hour light. Across the highway you can climb the hill and get a nice view to the east of Tanaya Lake and the mountains surrounding it. The views from here are very nice.  I believe the peak shown above is Mt. Ritter, a 13K peak.
