Yosemite Hikes masthead (Pothole Dome)
Tenaya Lake, Yosemite National Park, partially covered in ice in early June

Tenaya Lake

This is the sublime view facing eastward from the western shore. Ice on the lake is a rarity when the Tioga Road is open; this photo was taken on opening day in early June. The large dome on the left is Polly Dome (9,806 feet / 2,989 meters); the smaller dome near the center of the far horizon is Pywiack Dome (8,851 feet / 2,698 meters); and Tressider Peak (10,600 feet / 3,231 meters) is the large mountain at center. Lower Cathedral Lake is just beyond it; you can look down on Tenaya Lake from its western shore.
