7. Climb El Capitan

The sublime El Capitan, a.k.a. El Cap is a vertical granite rock formation found on the north side of the valley close to the western end. This monolith is almost 3,000 feet from its base to its summit when measured along its tallest face. Climbers from across the globe come here to meet the demanding challenge. The best time to visit is from June until October.

8. Complete the Lembert Dome Hike

The hike to Lembert Dome is a short one that’s well worth the effort. It will take between an hour and a half to three hours due to a nearly mile-long steep rise. You have to hike across what some call a “sticky granite face” to reach the vista. Once you reach the top you will have a super view of the Cathedral Range and Tuolumne Meadows.
