Description

Tenaya is a nice place to stop along California's 120 in Yosemite National Park. There area few boulders here on the Southeast side of the lake, away from the highway. Stop at the lake and have lunch, or even jump in and cool off!

Getting There

Parking is on the East end of the lake in a well-marked lot with restrooms. Walk ten minutes from the bathroom along the East end of the lake, up to the hiking trail that runs East. You'll see a ten-foot boulder here and a small trail to the left (South). Take this trail to find more boulders.
