MOUNT DANA. Hiking Yosemite's 2nd Highest Mountain

Mount Dana is a fantastic hike. 5.5 miles and 3,000 feet of climbing gets you to the 2nd highest mountain in Yosemite. There are great views above Tioga Pass and the Yosemite high country and Mono Lake. This is one of my favorite hikes to do in Yosemite National Park and is highly recommended!
I am a channel who hikes. I go to places like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Patagonia, Nepal, Mexico, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Colorado, Washington, Yellowstone. I have traveled to every country I the world.
I am also kinda like channels like Drew Binsky,
I am also kinda like channels like California Through My Lense, livehardxlovehard,

❤Thank You for the wonderful video.
Not that it would be 'easy' in any way, but hiking over the snow looked slightly easier than hiking through all the scree. Did you have any difficulty following the trail or finding your way to the top? I did hike to Half Dome once in the snow, and it seemed easier without the crowds and being able to make my own stair steps in the snow on the approach, but difficult to know if I was on the trail.

@@Caterina29 you’re welcome! With the snow or with the scree it’s nice to have an offline map downloaded. It is a pretty straightforward route heading up to up to the summit

Hi Brian, I just followed you on instagram but it wouldn’t let me message you. I am taking a year off to backpack the world and wanted to ask you if you have a list of essential gear you recommend. I love all your videos and also enjoy running, so I wanted to connect with you and learn more about gear, camera you use to document, etc. I saw you were at Chapada Diamantina and that’s one of my first stops in a couple months. Anyway, trying to figure out which gear I need to buy and some other logistics… I would appreciate any tips you might have! Thank you in advance :)

Hey! Glad you are taking a year off. I made a video with what I took to every country in the world. ruclips.net/video/NVFsZHFH9hg/видео.html I hope that it helps! I use a Hero 10 go pro with a jobi gorilla pod to hold and use as a little tripod if needed and Dji Mavic Mini drone for all my recording.
