Tips

Far from the hustle and bustle of Yosemite Valley, only a few people walk to the eastern end of the national park. But just here you can enjoy the beauty of nature at over 3000 meters altitude almost on its own. The loneliness, the silence and the untouchedness that surrounds one in this scenery makes time stand still. A great experience and the effort of the first steep climb all times worth. The view over the lakes surrounded by massive basalt mountains in an indescribable silence, just wonderful.

The trail takes you on a roughly 7 kilometers and an overall elevation of 200 metres hike to the lakes. You can enjoy rewarding views back to Dana Meadows and to the mountains behind it (Dana, Mammoth, Gibbs).
