Lower Gaylor Lake Elevation:  10,050 feet (3,060 meters)

The bare patch near the trailhead is a pretty, single-serving-sized, and generally unoccupied meadow with a stream (zoom in for the evidence) meandering through it. If you're weary of sharing Tuolumne Meadows with other hikers, come to this one and revel in your misanthropy.
