Description

Mount Dana lies of the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains on the edge of Yosemite National Park. From the top you get great views of eastern Yosemite and Mono Lake. The classic route starts at the Tioga Pass Parking Lot and goes up a small canyon to a large flat area. From there you take the ridge to the summit. It is the second tallest peak in Yosemite National Park.
