Often a place where solitude is eminent, wilderness stretches seemingly endless before you, and the Tuolumne River begins its journey; Tuolumne Meadows lies 8,600 feet above sea level, near the eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park at Tioga Pass.
The Tuolumne River flows through the meadows of the region, supplied by water from both the Lyell and Dana forks which stem from two of the three glaciers within the park. Known to have many moods, the river tumbles downhill in a number of cascades such as Waterwheel Falls, cuts a mile-deep through the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River, and slows to a crawl as it reaches O'Shaughnessy Dam, where it then continues its' journey meandering through the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

Riparian communities are adjacent to the river channel and tributaries; they are the interface between the river and surrounding meadow and upland communities. They provide specialized habitat and important nutrients to the meadow and river systems.
