At 13,061 feet in elevation, Mount Dana is the second-highest peak in Yosemite. From the summit, you will get 360-degree views of Mono Lake and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The final 1000 feet requires hiking across a scree field, so caution and steady footing is a must.

Running

Mount Dana sits at 13,061 ft and is a tough but epic run with insane 360° views at the top. It’s only 2.9 miles, but you’ll gain 3,100 feet—so get ready to climb. The last stretch is a loose scree field, so watch your footing. No water, unpredictable weather, and high elevation make it extra challenging. Start early, bring plenty of water, and pace yourself, it’s a grind, but the views are worth it!
