Mount Dana

Yosemite National Park

The climb to the top of Mount Dana is hard but the views from the top are my favorite in all of Yosemite National Park. This peak is close to Tioga Pass, just park at the pass and head for the top. It's closeness to the road makes it a great day hike but it's steepness and the altitude makes it difficult, especially at the top section.

This mountain is covered with talus (broken rock) and the higher up on the mountain you get the harder this rock is to walk on. The top right picture was taken from Saddlebag Lake road.
