The second highest peak in Yosemite. Mount Dana is an interesting mountain with many unique characteristics. The peak rises gently out of Dana Meadows on its reddish, metamorphic west side. And, like many peaks on the Sierra crest, Mount Dana's east side drops precipitously to the floor of the Owens Valley.

Many factors contribute to make Mount Dana a popular climbing destination for mountaineers of all strains. For one thing, it is very accessible: the mountain is adjacent to a major highway (CA 120), and although the peak is high, the trailhead is high also (~10,000 feet).

There is a class 1-2 walk up that starts at Tioga pass. There are also some more technical climbs, like the Dana Couloir, and other climbs across Glacier Canyon on the Dana Plateau.
