Backpacking Yosemite National Park - Ten Lakes

A beautiful classic Yosemite high-country trip

Located in the scenic high country of northern Yosemite National Park, the Ten Lakes region is a wonderland of forests, granite and wildflowers. Surrounded by dramatic peaks and green valleys, the ten lakes resemble beads strung on a necklace of creeks and rivers. Starting at an elevation of 7400 feet and hiking up to 9400 feet, this is a favorite summer excursion.
