Day hike to clouds rest

Post by MountainMinstrel »

I just discovered that I have absolutely nothing to do this Saturday so a day hike it is. I have been toying with the idea of doing Clouds Rest for a while and it looks like this could be my last opportunity this year. I have just one question. How long will it take me to get (drive) to Tenya Lake from Fresno?

Just rough guessing here from countless past trips...
Figure 2 1/2 - 3 hours to the Yosemite gate, and another 45 minutes to an hour or so, up to Tenaya. Thus 4 hours total , maybe a tad less...depending on traffc - winding road and a speed limit of 45 mph in the park.
