    Hiking

    The Glen Aulin Trail begins at Tuolumne Meadows and follows the Tuolumne River, winding through stunning landscapes filled with waterfalls, towering granite cliffs, lush meadows, and vibrant forests.

    The trail starts with an easy to moderate stroll alongside the river. A short half-mile walk from the parking area offers informational kiosks highlighting the area's ecology, wildlife, history, and geology.
