9. See Cathedral Peak
Part of the previously-mentioned Cathedral Ridge, Cathedral Peak is an impressive mountain range found in the south-central section of the park in the eastern portion of Mariposa and Tuolumne Counties. The ridge is named after the peak which is named for its cathedral-like shape.
The shape is the result of glacial activity. The peak has an elevation of 10,916 feet. John Muir was the first person to climb it in 1869.
10. Hike the Mist Trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls
The Mist Trail is said to be “one of the most popular short hikes” in the park. The trail begins at Happy Isles and follows the nearby Merced River past both Vernal Fall and the Emerald Pool, to the Nevada Fall. It is a “must-do” trail for hikers visiting this park. It’s also quite popular since it has access to Half Dome. The best time to do this hike is in Spring or Summer.
