Mirror Lake Loop

The Mirror Lake Loop is a great, easy way to soak in the serenity of Yosemite National Park. You’ll find the trailhead along Happy Isles Road, which is accessible via the Yosemite National Park Shuttles. Most hikers take the loop counter clockwise beginning along what’s marked as the Valley Loop Trail. As you walk deeper into Yosemite Valley you’ll be treated to reflections of Half Dome in the waters of Mirror Lake. Most hikers consider this an easy route, and the views of the valley are worth every step. The lake can dry up during the late summer, but should be full at most other times of year. This is a popular hike for Strava members visiting Yosemite National Park.
