The Tuolumne River is a California river that flows nearly 150 miles (240 km) from the central Sierra Nevada to the San Joaquin River in the Central Valley. The river flows from the Sierra Crest on the west Sierra slope, through the Sierra foothills of the Sierra Nevada, to Don Pedro Reservoir, through farmland in the Central Valley, to its mouth near Modesto.
 
The Tuolumne headwaters are along -35 mi (56 km) of the Sierra Crest from the triple watershed point with the Stanislaus River southward over Mount Dana and the triple point for the Dana & Lyell Forks to the Upper San Joaquin triple point near Mount Lyell. The Tuolumne source is the confluence of the Dana Fork (from Mount Dana) and the Lyell Fork (from Mount Lyell) in the Tuolumne Meadows.
