    Hiking

    The trail to Mirror Lake in Yosemite Park, California. The path is not special but very rewarding. The lake itself was dry in September.

    Hiking

    Start early, because you are not alone here. Even a hike to the Half Dome is worthwhile, if enough time available.

    Hiking

    The small, seasonal lake on Tenaya Creek lies between North and Half Dome and is the last remnant of a large glacial lake that filled most of the Yosemite Valley at the end of the last Ice Age, but now mostly only has water in spring.
