Mirror Lake/Meadow Trail in Stone Bridge Yosemite Valley offers visitors a picturesque hiking experience with stunning views of Half Dome, Tenaya Canyon, Mount Watkins, and Washington Column. The trail is a 2-mile round trip to the lake and back, or a 5-mile loop around the lake, with an elevation gain of 100 feet. It is open year-round, but can be icy and snowy in winter. The trail features exhibits that tell the story of Mirror Lake's lake-to-meadow succession and the cultural history of the area.
Visitors are advised to stay on the trail, especially during spring and early summer when water levels are high. Rock-hopping across Tenaya Creek is dangerous and can lead to being swept into whitewater. Drinking water is not available along the trail, so hikers should come prepared. Leashed pets, bicycles, and strollers are allowed on the first paved mile of the trail. Other easy and moderate hikes in Yosemite Valley are also available.
