Route Climbed: From Tioga Pass Date Climbed: October 9, 2005
Hiked to the top as part of a Glaciology course I took. Great views from the summit, but a 20 minute passionate lecture about everything from moraines to nunataks at the summit from the professor left me and the 15 other students freezing. A great weekend with a great group of people. TM is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Route Climbed: the usual Date Climbed: July 28, 2005
My annual scramble to the top, on a mosquitoey morning. Could hear thunder rumbling over Mt Dana, so moved off quickly. Love this hike!

The Hills Were Alive
My sons and I hiked up the south slope to enjoy the magnificent views from the summit. Great morning except for the mosquitoes.
Since the Great Sierra Mine was our ultimate destination we decided to find a route through the boulders of the northwest end of the peak. It was a little hairy at times but this was probably only the second dumbest thing we did all day.
The least intelligent thing was coming back through the snow fields along the west shore of upper Gaylor Lakes. Fortunately we all survived and have great photos to boot.
Route Climbed: North Slope Date Climbed: July 1989
Despite the ease of ascent, it really is a fine little summit with some great views. I have been up a number of times and have never come across anyone else on top. Most of the trail hikers head down to Gaylor Lakes (which are also a nice destination.)
Route Climbed: Tioga Pass Trail Date Climbed: 19-Oct-2003
Took a quick side trip hike up to Gaylor Peak on the way to see the Great Sierra Mine. Was a bit disappointed that the east side of Dana wasn't visible from the peak, but otherwise the views were excellent.
Route Climbed: Tioga Pass trail. Date Climbed: 21 June 2003
Sauntered up the trail with Uncle and Cousins visiting from back east. Great views of Cathedral Peak and Tuolumne Meadow. Just made me want to climb Mt. Dana!
Route Climbed: From Tioga Pass Date Climbed: Aug 2, 2001
Wanting to acclimatize as much as possible, I drove from the Bay Area after work, parked at Tioga Pass, and slept on the summit. Completely illegal, of course. Trip Report

Route Climbed: Saddle approach Date Climbed: June 2000This was the first mountain that I climbed in Yosemite, and it's a good one. Easy hiking and great views. Not a bad beginner's peak.
