Donohue Pass is the last major pass along the PCT if you hike northbound. It is snow covered until early summer or late spring. The view into the valley with blue shimmering lakes is stunning. The climb from the north side (hiking southbound) is much steeper than from the south side.

Donohue Peak is located along the eastern boundary of Yosemite National Park. While the summit is often overshadowed by its much larger neighbors, Lyell and McClure, the views from the summit alone are worth the effort of the climb.
