Day 4 - Matterhorn Canyon to Glen Aulin...

The ladies start the morning with some sunshine and break camp early. They are headed south through some beautiful country.


On the way to Glen Aulin...

Along the way, they struggle with several water crossings - some up to thigh deep. The water is freezing and the delays in changing out of hiking boots to water crossing shoes and back slows the ladies down.

And, as usual, the thunderstorms start again. One highlight of the day is when the gals come across two new fawns on the trail. They give them a wide berth so as not to disturb them.



As the day wears on and the rain gets harder, the ladies decide to camp short of Glen Aulin and find a great spot in a meadow off the trail. A large rock has a perfect overhang that allows them to set up camp out of the rain, under the out-cropping.



They settle in for the evening and will push for Tuolumne Meadows and their first taste of civilization since the start of the trip in the morning. Of course, that means cheeseburgers and beer too!
