Olmsted Point Review

CA-120 is one of the few traffic routes that cross the Sierra Nevada in summer. It takes I-80 north of Lake Tahoe to the north and CA-58 south to Southern California to cross the mountains. On the west side of the park, CA-120 walks through the mountain, the peak loop turns, and there is a fork to the Hetch-Hetchy reservoir; On the east side of the park, a plank road through Li's Canyon (Lee''sCanyon) is very steep and can be called a project innovation.

The view of this observation deck is particularly good, you can see semi-dome, Nevada Waterfall, Jinghu and other attractions. Parking spaces on the mountain are relatively limited, it is recommended to take shuttle bus up the mountain. The road up the mountain is not very easy to open, and the slope is relatively large. The mountain is well equipped, but there is nothing delicious, only snacks and hot dogs.

Also on the side of Highway 120 (tioga Highway), close to Lake Teneya, the scenery itself is very distinctive. At the same time, this is the only place outside the Yosemite Valley where you can overlook the half-hill rock. . .

Olmsted Point is also a viewing spot on Tioga Road, and the huge rock with turtle shell pattern is its logo. You can clearly see the famous semi-dome Half Dome from another angle, you can enjoy the view in the parking lot, or you can walk a few hundred meters along the path to Scenic Overlook, the viewing angle will be more open.

There is no characteristic here, no characteristic scenery, but you can see the trees here. The pine trees are the main characteristics. Many dead trees are very strange. You can take a car to see it. You don’t need to stay for too long.
