📍Cathedral Lakes, Yosemite
Two stunning alpine lakes—Upper Cathedral Lake and Lower Cathedral Lake

Trailhead: Cathedral Lakes Trailhead (off Tioga Road)

Distance: 9 miles round trip to both lakes

Elevation Gain: ~1,000 ft

Elevation: ~9,600 ft at Upper Cathedral Lake


Best day of the summer, hands down.
A tough hike, a damn good lunch, and a cold plunge in an alpine lake surrounded by granite giants. 🌲💦 2025’s favorite memory right here.
