Oh, that looks so INVITING!! I'd take along a gunnysack to do the slide; wouldn't want to rip out the seat of my swim trunks. I'd always believed that NPS had forbidden access to the Creek, from Tenaya's outlet, to where it junctions with the Merced. But if one keeps their wits about them, an occasional "outlaw" excursion can't hurt.
Tenaya Canyon, while seemingly innocuous, is and can be a death trap. While it CAN be seemingly safe at certain times of the year, certain water flows, it can also be subtly deceptive. Do not be deceived; if you get into trouble there, the YOSAR (Yosemite Search and Rescue team) can be especially difficult to come to your rescue... or recovery.
Likely right after a rain. OK. Imagine this place without water. My friend Steve Bannon (yeah, Trump's friend) and I hiked and hung here one day in the summer of 85 when it was totally barren - devoid of any hint of water. Then a surprise bigass rain and hail storm came ripping through. Without a tent we raced around until we came upon a lean-to of a rock that kept us from getting soaked. We threw a tarp over the overhang to help, and it did, and then the rain stopped so we burst out running around hoping to find a more spacious shelter. We ran right here and were amazed at the massive slide of water rushing through here that wasn't here an hour ago before the rain. WTF? Opened up our brains some.
There used to be a bunch of trees there too. They all burned long before butane lighters were invented. Therefore, butane lighters clearly cannot burn trees. That's just logic! /S
@@CBlargh The giant glaciers in Yosemite melted long before human caused CO2 pollution. The climate is always changing and the uniparty line that you can do something about it is a fallacy
Awesome fun slide 🙌🤩 on my bucket list now
Thanks for sharing 🤩🙌
Just make sure you get up there before all the snow melts. The creek usually dries up in July, unless there was a ton of snow the winter before.
@@flyminionknow of anyway to know if it’s flowing? Im going in a week
@@jonny4509torres This is the flow gauge. water.noaa.gov/gauges/tenc1
What a beautiful location
Place looks amazing, thx for sharing
My family used to go camping there almost every summer during the 60s and early 70s.
We all got so burnt there in '75. It is like a south facing reflector oven in that polished granite bowl.
Baked or burnt?😻😹
@@LuckyLarry both

The video was recorded on August 23, 2023
How cold was the water?!
It was 60 °F when I was there (this was late August of 2023).
The water looks cold.
It's "Mr Turtle" chilling!

Plus, SAR may slap you with a BIG Bill, for all their troubles.

Every Steve I’ve ever seen has been morally corrupt asf..
Yeah, I know that story's a lie because you weren't murdered.
@@72marshflower15 You gotta get out more.
@@CBlargh Makes sense to you!

He said Steve Bannon, not Bill Clinton. Learn to read.
Well I thought they were going to start up the hill, not at the bottom, what a disappointment
In case no one figured it out...there used to be massive glaciers there,
The Glaciers all melted before human caused CO2
So dumb

@@CBlargh Agreed Human caused fires are a big problem currently
@@redjetsen1002 Uh huh. Caused by the exhaust from our cars and factories.

Bro jumps into water like a 4 year old. 😂
Why do some people think others want to hear their especially shitty music?
