Dana Meadows
The Dana Meadows can be found at the eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park, at the foot of Mount Dana, not far from Tuolumne Meadows. In the wintertime, this area can be covered in snow up to 50 feet deep. In June or July, it is springtime in these meadows, but snow can come at any time, especially after Labor Day.
Before Yosemite became a park, Basque sheepherders would graze their flocks here, and in other areas of the Sierra Nevada. (In hunting season, some animals of the Sierra, such as the deer, have learned to migrate into the park.)
