Location
The northern terminus of the Tahoe-Yosemite Trail is located at Meeks Bay on the western shore of Lake Tahoe. Its southern terminus is at Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park.

Description
The Tahoe-Yosemite Trail winds its way along the crest of the Sierras, sometimes paralleling the PCT, and sometimes sharing the trailway for short distances. The trail passes many of the High Sierra's lakes, and passes through the Desolation, Mokelumne, Carson-Iceberg, and Emigrant Wilderness areas. Highlights of the trail include Emigrant Meadow, the "Benson Riviera", and the northern Yosemite high country, along with many other attractions. The trail also includes route finding over St Mary's Pass through high alpine meadows, and sometimes difficult trail routing along Lost City Creek.
