Time to turn back
Looking up Tenaya Canyon, Yosemite, from a few hundred yards above Pywiack Cascade, behind the viewer. To descend past the cascade, climbing skill or a rope are needed to reach the lower segment of the canyon. We've always gotten here from Tenaya Lake (out of sight--of course--beyond the notch just right of center), and the way we will go to get back.
This is (unusually) the low point of this great hike--not complaining about that! Other views show this part of the canyon from above. The high point on the right is Tenaya Peak.
