1994 Map of Vogelsang Peak

About this map

Tuolumne Meadows serves as the gateway to this high-elevation wilderness in the mid-1990s, anchored by the Tuolumne Meadows Post Office and a central Visitor Center. This area of Yosemite is a critical junction for long-distance hikers, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the John Muir Trail (Scenic) converge among the granite peaks. The landscape is defined by the sharp rise of the Cathedral Range, which separates the drainage of the Lyell Fork and the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River. Further south, the Vogelsang High Sierra Camp provides a remote outpost near Vogelsang Lake and Vogelsang Pass. The presence of the Maclure Glacier beneath the high peaks highlights the alpine nature of this territory, while numerous high-basin lakes like Ireland Lake and Evelyn Lake dot the glaciated terrain.
