Eagle Peak (7,779 ft), located between El Capitan and Yosemite Falls, is the highest peak on the north rim of Yosemite Valley in California. John Muir considered the view from the summit to be "most comprehensive of all the views" available from the north wall.
Eagle Peak can be reached by following the Upper Yosemite Falls and Eagle Peak trailsfor 6.0 miles (9.7 km) one way with a climb of over 3,500 feet (1,100 m) from the trailhead at Camp 4 near Yosemite Village. It passes near Yosemite Falls and affords many views of the valley.
For an easier hike with more views ( komoot.de/tour/6939644 ) the peak can also be reached from the Tamarack Flat Campground located off the Tioga Pass Road at about 6,400 feet (2,000 m). It follows the El Capitan trail for 7.7 miles (12.4 km). After descending to Camp 4 a free shuttlebus can be taken back to the start.
Another route starts at Yosemite Creek Campground at an elevation of 7,200 feet (2,200 m). This trailhead is at the end of a very rough, single lane, 4-mile (6.4 km) road.
