We love this hike - 6 miles roundtrip from the visitors center to see the Grizzly Giant. Please double check information, but as of now there isn't a shuttle running in and out, so you must hike in. Bring enough water!

Mirror Lake offers stunning views of Tenaya Canyon, Mount Watkins and the Washington Column and gives hikers a different perspective of Half Dome, looking directly up at it. Plus, the lake offers beautiful mirrored views of the surrounding cliffs. The trail is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during spring and early summer when the lake is filled by the flowing Tenaya Creek -towards the end of the summer the lake can get pretty dry. If you go during spring or early summer, make sure to bring your bathing suit to swim!

City/town information

Fish Camp is the closest town outside of Yosemite's south gate and the perfect launching pad for all your daily adventures, nestled in the Sierra National Forest. The area lends itself to varied climate being in high elevation, with cool summer mornings and evenings, and sometimes festive snow in the winter. It is perfectly situated in the midst of an outdoor wonderland, perfect for all types of explorers, while being incredibly central to all the activities. If you're looking for an alternative to Yosemite and want to explore Fish Camp, there are so many options - horseback riding through the Sierras, go on a waterfall hunting adventure, various hikes or take a trip to the Sugar Pine Railroad.
