Kanto, Dean 2004 Journal Moro Pass and Devil's Postpile, Yosemite NP and Devil's Postpile National Monument, Frazier and Mono Cr., CA August 5 I camped near June Lake and drove back over Tioga Pass in the morning. I hiked to Moro Pass from the Tioga Road to look for Hydromantes. Although the area looked promising on the map, I did not see any good salamander habitat. There was not much exposed rock or flowing water, and the rock that was there did not look granite. I flipped some rocks in a wet area beneath a snow patch southeast of the pass (37°50'51.9"N, 119°12'44.3"W (NAD27,8m), 3352m) but found nothing. I climbed up the hill I was on to get a view of Parker Pass to the south, but didn't see anything promising in that direction. On the hike back, I saw more than 15 Parea mucus in a bunch of small interconnected ponds in a boggy area just south of the Moro Pass trail. I hiked out and drove to Devil's Postpile, where I hiked in to Rainbow Falls. I was hoping for a large spray zone like the one at Bridal Veil, but the spray zone was small, with most spray going straight out over the plunge pool, and I didn't see any good areas for salamanders although I flipped a lot rocks. Finally I drove to Convict Lake to met Dorian Huijuni. We camped along the road and will look for salamanders tomorrow. The weather was sunny and warm all day.
