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!
