Nestled between giant granite domes and the clear skies of the Sierra Nevada, Tenaya Lake is the largest lake in Yosemite's frontcountry. Due to its remarkable scenic qualities, inviting blue waters, and proximity to Tioga Road, Tenaya Lake is one of the most popular destinations for summer visitors to Yosemite. It is very popular for picnicking, swimming, and canoeing. Tenaya Lake was named after Chief Tenaya, the last chief of the Yosemite Indians.

Very nice for cooling your legs and nice for a picnic

Mirror Lake is a small, seasonal lake on Tenaya Creek between North Dome and Half Dome in Tenaya Canyon. It is the last remnant of a larger glacial lake that once filled most of Yosemite Valley and is slowly disappearing due to sediment accumulation. It is fullest in spring and early summer when Tenaya Creek carries fresh snowmelt. Mirror Lake got its name from stunning reflections of the surrounding cliffs on windless days. Sings along the trail describe the lake's transformation from a lake to a meadow and the area's cultural history. By late summer, the lake is often referred to as Mirror Meadow due to water dispersing and it becoming a grassy and sandy area. Hikers should be cautious of slick conditions along the south side of the loop trail during winter and early spring.

Hiking around Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay offers amazing views of the bay's vibrant emerald-green waters, more vibrant than other parts of the lake due to its shallow depth. Visitors can explore Fannette Island, home to the remains of a teahouse, and tour the old 1929 Scandinavian-style Vikingsholm Castle. The Eagle Falls Trail provides a scenic 2-mile hike to Eagle Lake, while the Rubicon Trail hugs the bay’s edge with stunning lake views. Emerald Bay also has California's first maritime heritage trail, showcasing sunken ships and barges. Nearby, the Tallac Historic Site offers a glimpse into Lake Tahoe’s early 1900s history. This area has a ton to do, and hikers can easily spend the whole day exploring.
