Tuolumne Meadows to Yosemite Valley via Half Dome
Yosemite National Park, Sierra Nevada



Day 1
We meet at the Tuolumne Meadows store in the Yosemite High Country at 9:00am. After a brief pack check we head South on the John Muir Trail past Cathedral Lakes and beautiful Cathedral Peak. We descend towards Sunrise High Sierra Camp where we establish our first nights camp.


Day 2
After a possibly spectacular sunrise and leasurely breakfast in aptly named Sunrise Meadows, we leave the John Muir Trail and hike towards Sunrise Lakes. We then hike through some of the most spectacular mountain vistas on the planet exploring the views from Clouds Rest, Yosemite's largest expanse of granite. We descend to Sunrise Creek where we establish our camp for the night.


Day 3
An early start finds us hiking up the Half Dome trail ahead of the crowds. We ascend the famous "cable route" to Yosemite's most reconizable summit. The views from the top of Half Dome are absolutely incredible. We descend back to out camp along Sunrise Creek for the evening.

Day 4
Our last day is spent descending the John Muir and Mist trails past Nevada and Vernal Falls into Yosemite Valley where we then shuttle back to our cars at Tuolumne Meadows.
