Tues, September 4, 2012:
First we leisurely explored Yuba Lake a bit (after enjoying an awesome
shower!) We then left Yuba Lake and later
arrived at Kodachrome Basin Campground (after a couple missed turns and
approximately 3.5 hours of travel).

We located our campground in Kodachrome Basin next to a virtual stone penis and scrotum (site #15).
We enjoyed good early evening shade to take refuge from the sun and heat.
The campground had good showers and flush toilets.

We began with a hike to Shakespeare’s Arch, a 3 mile loop, and had a thunderstorm move in while hiking that prevented the slick rock cross country adventure portion of the hike. Nice views of the arch with blue skies above did precede the storm invasion however.

The road to Gossamer’s arch was closed due to being washed out from a recent storm; we were not able to do this hike during our stay.
