Tenaya Lake with its ultra-clear water is framed by monolithic granite domes, and sits at an elevation of 8150 feet. The natural lake was formed by glaciers carving this valley ringed by granite slopes. Several creeks and springs feed into Tenaya Lake, which then empties into Yosemite Valley and into the Central Valley. The Tuolumne Ice Sheet created Half Dome and created this lake. Highway120 runs right along the edge of the lake. It's an opportunity to pause the journey for a moment.

By this summer Glacier Pt. road should open up with brand new pavement, which it needed badly. It leads to one of the best scenery showcases in the park. BTW, regarding the reservation system. All I’ve ever had to do is tell the gate keepers that I’m just passing through and I won’t be ‘recreating’ just riding. They give me a piece of paper with a time written on it that’s 2-4 hours away stating that should be enough time to get thru the park. I’ve never been stopped or asked about the time and I’ve stopped at any of my favorite places for as long as I wanted. For those w/o a military or senior pass it still costs $30 to enter which is ridiculous but better than getting up @ 4:30 IMO.
