May Lake 🌲 Yosemite

May Lake is a beautiful alpine lake at an elevation of 9,270 feet (2,830 m), surrounded by spectacular granite domes in Yosemite National Park, as well as a High Sierra Camp where backpackers can stay in tent cabins located near the lake. There are eight cabins that accommodate a total of 36 guests. The hike to May Lake from a parking area off Tioga Pass Road is 1.2 miles (1.9 km). The lake is overlooked by Mount Hoffmann.
May Lake was named by topographer Charles F. Hoffmann of the California Geological Survey, for Lucy Mayotta ("May") Browne, who became his wife in 1870. It is the backcountry camp closest to a road. Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp is located a hiking distance of 8.6 miles (13.8 km) northeast, and Sunrise High Sierra Camp is located a hiking distance of 8.3 miles (13.4 km) miles southeast.
