Mirror Lake Trail in Yosemite National Park
The Mirror Lake Trail in Yosemite National Park offers a peaceful hike through Tenaya Canyon, framed by dramatic granite cliffs like Half Dome and North Dome. The trail winds alongside Tenaya Creek, providing a serene experience with forested sections, sandy riverbeds, and seasonal reflections in the lake, which transforms into Mirror Meadow as the water recedes later in the year. This route is accessible and versatile, with options for both paved and unpaved paths, allowing hikers to enjoy a mix of tranquil woodland scenery and stunning valley views. #Hiking #Forest #Nature #Lake
