Off the beaten path, this sacred spiritual place had little to no tourists (I met two people) but was filled with life and beauty with a preternatural calm over the entire site. Seeing the Bull Buck tree was a privilege and was all the more moving as I had the grove all to myself. A very strange and poignant feeling standing in awe in front of this 2700 year old giant. Not the easiest site to get to but for me that just added to the experience, if you have an adventurous spirit you will love this place

Our visitor center is located outside the south entrance to Yosemite in Oakhurst on Highway 41. Stop by for information on Yosemite and the southern gateway - Madera County. Our knowledgeable volunteers can help you with all your vacation questions. We also sell maps and park passes.
This was our last hike on our way out of the park. I believe the trailhead is right inside the West Park entrance. Be sure to pack a couple bottles of water, as the hike up is fairly steep (the 10,000' to 10,500' elevation over the saddleback of a ridge, took us 1.5 hrs to hike up, then theres a 200' hike down to the lakes. middle Gaylor Lake is what you see as you top the ridge, then you can hike down and to your right and find upper Gaylor Lake. Those were the ones we hiked to & they were beautiful. We had a picnic lunch overlooking the middle lake & listened to the frogs. Saw a hummingbird moth which I'd never even heard of but was fascinating, and a Marmot.
