Disaster on Tioga Road

Getting started

That slope is doable but rather steep and slippery

This is more like it

Marmot Dome and Fairview Dome

*
The summit is right over there

Unicorn Peak and Cockscomb rise above

On top of Pothole Dome

Glacier scat!

Cross-country off the dome

Tuolumne River

*
I find such streams to be the most scenic at mid-to-lower water levels
