After years of visiting Yosemite and the western Sierra Nevada Mountains my family and I finally decided to explore the eastern side of the range. Our adventure took us to Mt. Whitney, Mono Lake, the Tioga Pass, Gem Lake, Tuolumne Meadows, the June Lake Loop, Mammoth Lakes and Convict Lake. It was absolutely beautiful. We arrived a few days after a storm so the mountain peaks were dusted with snow which was a lovely contrast to the golden hue of the foliage and bright blue skies.
