June Lake Trail Map · Hikes
Yost Lake
Past Yost Meadow, a full day from the back door.
Map by Bill Tipton, made for the Yosemite Gateway Chalet. For planning: carry a real map and check conditions before you go.
The far end of the Yost branch, past the meadow. Yost Creek is the same water that runs past the chalet's hot tub, so on the way down you can follow it home.
