As usual, there are no permits available for the tuolumne area the day they are issued. I set my alert for the wrong day for a Lyell creek to sunrise to happy isles trip for my brother and his girls annual trip. I am going to try and figure out another route and possibly a walk in permit. I read a trail report about hiking to Nelson lake using the Elizabeth lake trailhead but didn't see that trailhead on the yose map. Is there a trialheD there?

If you look at the Full Trailheads list you will see Nelson Lake listed. When you apply for the permit, put down Nelson Lake. And, yes, the trail begins in the Tuolumne Meadows campground at the Elizabeth Lake Trail. It is located in the back part of the B loop.

Thank you, I saw the nelson lake listed and made the connection, but didn't know if there was another Nelson lake in Yosemite.
