The Tenaya Lake



At an Elevation of 8,150 feet, the Tenaya Lake is the easiest accessible lake in Yosemite National Park.  The name had come from Chief Tenaya, but he had objected that the name already had a name, which was Pie-we-wack or also known as the "Lake of Shining Rocks". It is famous for, of course, the brilliant shimmer of the rocks that the lake produces. If the lake is completely still, the reflection of the mountains and tress in the water is picture perfect.
