Young Lakes
Young Lakes, Yosemite National Park

The route I chose to Young Lakes starts on the Dog Lake trail from the Lembert Dome parking lot. This is a well used trail that climbs up hill most of the 1.5 miles to Dog Lake. At a starting elevation of almost 9000' it can be a real challenge if your not used to the elevation.
