Overview
Mount Dana is Yosemite’s second-highest peak at 13,061 feet, on the park’s eastern edge above Tioga Pass, and the highest one in the park with a straightforward hike to the summit. The trail climbs about 3,000 feet in 3 miles one way from the Tioga Pass entrance, with views of Mono Lake, Dana Glacier and Dana Meadows. Altitude and weather make it strenuous.
