Brent - the hike into Lyell [sic] Canyon at Tuolumne Meadows sounds like
exactly what you're looking for.  It's a very mild flat hike along a small
river, but as you go further, the mountains on either side start rising
higher and higher and it's quite beautiful, but I guess that's understood
since it's Yosemite.  After about a mile you hit the water and stay with it
for as long as you like, but it's pretty flat the whole way, and the water
is beautiful with trout everywhere, but I don't know if it's legal to fish
there. It's all back country camping and quite primitive, though.  Good
swimming holes all over too.

Don't think you could bring the Syncro though.

Hope this helps.
