Few trails offer so much beauty for so little effort. Stunning views (of Yosemite's major landmarks) for a 2.2 mile walk with 500 plus feet of elevation gain. Our six-year-old twins love it!

Beautiful, short hike with gorgeous high-mountain vistas from a granite dome. We love Yosemite, but the trails off Sierra Sky Ranch Road let you escape from the summer crowds and heat!
