Replete with creeks, towering trees, and rolling stretches of grassland, Tuolumne Meadows offers an array of options for hiking, climbing, and exploring the great outdoors of Yosemite National Park. Leave your car at one of the many small parking lots spaced out along the main road and explore the area, which features sprawling meadows surrounded by densely forested areas and backdrop of granite hills and mountains. Hit the trail and wander the meadows' open expanses or swing by the visitor center for a map and more information about popular routes. Many visitors head for one of the many granite domes in the meadows and climb them for a panoramic view of the alpine scenery. Put Tuolumne Meadows into our Yosemite National Park road trip website to see other points of interest to visit during your vacation in Yosemite National Park.

We hiked through the Meadows to the Post Office to pick up our re-supply on our hike of the John Muir Trail. A nice flat stroll on well maintained paths before we crossed 120 and began to climb up...

Late season camp-out, so we experienced the Meadows in a new season. We had a nice time.

Very beautiful! Wish we could have done more of the trails but we had dogs and they weren't allowed anywhere there. We went to Tenaya Lake instead. Also not much parking for RVs. We had a 30 ft one and we did find space onthe side of the road but were told we couldn't even stop at the visiting center parking lot because RVs not allowed.

The campground is much less crowded than usual. Store and grill are open. Just be sure you have a day pass or camping reservation before you get up there. No cell service at all right now.

I drove the entire length of yosemite from south to north so tuolumne meadows was one of the last things we saw. It's very quiet and peaceful, and there are a few streams with crystal clear water.
