North Dome Trail Guide

When you get to the junction of the Snow Creek Trail on the left, keep hiking straight. The trail to the left takes you down to Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley.

There are some stream crossings at the beginning of the hike.

Look for the big Porcupine Creek Trail Head sign at the parking area and start heading downhill.

The hike to North Dome summit is mostly downhill, and then you have to hike back out. Save some energy for the trip back.

From the trailhead you wind down toward the wall of Yosemite Valley and North Dome. It’s a direct route that gets you to the view ASAP.

There are a good amount of parking spots at the Porcupine Creek Trailhead, but it can get full, in which case here is roadside parking next to the parking lot.
