Yosemite Falls and Castle Cliffs form an Oxbow in Cook's Meadow.  In June, warm temperatures finally started melting the enormous winter snowpack of 2010, resulting in heavy flooding.  Here, I stood in 8 inches of ice cold snow runoff that submerged the pathway and boardwalk all the way across Cook's Meadow. ©2010 James McGrew
