Standing High

High above May Lake in Yosemite.

This is Mt Hoffmann in Yosemite. Standing high above May Lake, it has an easy class one route to the top with a class 2 approach to the summit. The route to the top is at times guided by cairns with a trail that comes and goes below the graded chute. An easily completed hike to the top with the family. An overnight stay at May Lake provides easy access to much of this wilderness area. Or as a full day from an early start at the trailhead.
