8/3/18 -- Took a drive to scope out the route to the Coyote Meadows Trailhead which we'll use for tomorrow's hike to Cooper Meadow. The dirt section of the road is DEFINITELY HIGH-CLEARANCE REQUIRED! The directions and mileages in the post about the hike are all good. Only thing to bear in mind is when you get to the Trail of the Gargoyles/Herring Reservoir Campground area, it becomes minorly confusing. Just stay right through this little jog in the road and continue with the directions as written. If you're a GPS user, the trailhead coordinates are N 38,14.429' W 119,52.776'.

We left Sonora in what looked like a nuclear winter. The smoke thinned as we gained elevation (and that you do, for sure; at the intersection of Hwy 108/Herring Creek Rd, it's about 6000' and at the trailhead it's 8405'). It was pretty at the trailhead, and the doggos had a fun, short run.

See you tomorrow, I hope!
