RHH's photos with the keyword: upper gaylor lake

I have jut a couple more photos to post from Yosemite National Park and then will go back to posting photos from our trip to Europe last summer. This is Upper Gaylor Lake in the northeast part of Yosemite.

This was part of the trail from Upper Gaylor Lake to the Great Sierra Mine, an abandoned silver mine on the northeast side of Yosemite National Park.

I have a few more photos of Yosemite National Park to post, this one of Upper Gaylor Lake, taken on our hike to those lakes.

One of the few wildflowers we saw in Yosemite National Park, this the Common Buttercup, photographed near Upper Gaylor Lake.

First, my apologies for being so tardy in responding to visits and comments. There have been several things that came up that needed to be dealt with and I am behind with everything as a result. The photo is of Upper Gaylor Lake, taken on a hike in the northern part of Yosemite National Park. The panorama was taken with my phone, something I do only occasionally.

Taken on our hike to Middle and Upper Gaylor Lakes in Yosemite, tentatively identified as Whitebark Pine, Pinus albicaulis.

After hiking to Upper Gaylor Lake we went on around the lake and followed the trail, visible in the photo to the site of the Great Sierra Silver Mine. The photo looks back over the lake to Gaylor Peak and beyond it to the ridge over which we hiked to reach this lake and the one beyond it, not visible in the photo.

From Gaylor Lakes we hiked to the site of the now-abandoned Great Sierra Silver Mine on the northeast border of Yosemite. The effort was never successful and only a small amount of silver was found. The area, however, is full of old ruined buildings and mine shafts.

As we hiked from Upper Gaylor Lake to the site of the old Sierra Silver Mine, this was the view back down the trail. The peak is Gaylor Peak and the ridge over which hiked to reach the lakes is just beyond the peak.

Taken as we hiked from Middle to Upper Gaylor Lake in Yosemite National Park - I believe the red leaves are of the wild blueberry.
