Such a great video! Stayed in the June lake area recently and a Yosemite Valley hike was on my goal list. Referenced your site and this video for my planning, so thank you! It was beyond helpful. Tough but fulfilling hike (as a non-experienced hiker). And, Indian Rock Arch was definitely worth it. Really enjoy your content!

I've never made it to North Dome. I thought I might earlier this year, as an extension to the Yosemite falls hike. Fate did not smile on me though - it was a hot, sunny day and I accidentally left my hat at home. Rather than getting baked on the granite, I decided to head back down. Still on my list to do - maybe next year! Thanks for the video.

HG - Thanks for a great series of videos about hiking my favorite national park. I hiked North Dome back in 1995 and saw only three other people on the trail and only one of them was on the dome at the same time I was (he was there when I arrived and left well before I did). If you want solitude and great views, this is the hike. I want to do this one again, but at age 62 it will take me a bit longer than last time. :-) On the other hand, I hiked the Mist Trail/Clark Point Trail/JMT to the top of Nevada Fall in 2019 and did well enough. That was my 16th time to the top of Vernal and 7th time to the top of Nevada).

This was an intense hike as a first time backpacker. Absolutely worth the views though!

What a great video. It's full of helpful information and great views!!! Thank you.

Very helpful. Thank you!

This is a great one fairly short. No water in summer. When you get to where he is standing go down and left instead of to the end. It takes you to the end above valley meadow area. Has a mini forest. But you cannot go wrong in Yosemite.

Thank you Cris for the introduction. I heard about this one but have not looked at the hike. Very high possibility and I will save this one for future reverence!

This is awesome! We're planning on hiking North Dome tomorrow so this video was super helpful to figure out what to expect from the hike!

Great video! Thank you for posting fantastic directions and tips!

Beautiful views, thanks for sharing this! One day I’ll have to get down south and hike Yosemite!

Great video! Really helpful for us to prepare for the hike:)

Good one. Interesting to see some of the lesser known hikes. Have you been staying around Yosemite the past week? Thanks for doing these videos!

Cris, Thanks again for this great video and guide via your website. We were able to get a digital entry ticket and spent a few days hiking around Yosemite. Your guide for North Dome was absolutely spot-on! Great advice to save some energy in the tank for the climb out. The view from North Dome was truly remarkable and worth the hike! Your turn-by-turns were very helpful. All of the cairns were knocked over/missing but the trail was still really easy to follow (7/21/2020). A real hidden gem of a hike! ($20 to you via PayPal!!)

There is no water! In summer. Muddy little creek. Take a gallon.

Excellent Video. Is a Half Dome video in the works?

The views from the top of this hike and Cloud’s Rest are almost the same. So why is Half Dome so popular and not these other amazing hikes? What’s the difference?

Is Porcupine Creek always running? I'm sleeping at North Dome and will need to carry water. The map shows crossing the creek twice, does the second crossing have reliable water? (It's been a low water year and some creeks are dry.) Thanks for your help! Also - do you have a video of Eagle Point back to Porcupine Creek Parking area? Bless you!
