Oh Yosemite June 2022 Seeking a Lower Altitude - Day 2

After what proved to be a good night’s sleep, we had breakfast and decided to take a short day-hike around the lakes area. Jeff had been in this area before, so he took us on a tour of the big lake we camped at and showed us the views of some of the other lakes. It was good to get out and stretch our legs on basically flat ground before we started our main hike, with our packs, to our next destination.
Upon our return, I was feeling a little woozy, and a little short of breath. Besides being out of shape, and a little tired from the previous day, John and Jeff thought maybe the altitude was starting to get to me. So, we plotted our course for the day to go down a little in elevation and see if that helped. John had found a spot about 200 ft lower that looked to be a good place for us to spend night two. But first, a short climb back up to the Ten Lakes bowl. It was a very gentle 500 ft climb over the first 2 miles. There were more great views of the Ten Lakes area as we climbed up and out of the bowl.
