Yost Meadow
The high meadow on the way to Yost Lake. Many guests say it rivals Tuolumne.
Map by Bill Tipton, made for the Yosemite Gateway Chalet. For planning: carry a real map and check conditions before you go.
About a mile up the Fern Lake trail, a branch splits off toward Yost Meadow and Yost Lake. The meadow is the reason to go: a long, open walk that many of our guests say rivals Tuolumne Meadows, with a fraction of the people.
