Description

For more information on the Sunrise Trail, see GORP's Tioga Road to Sunrise Camp feature.

Directions

Follow SR-120 (Tioga Road), the road that bisects Yosemite National Park, to the Cathedral Lakes trailhead.

Highlights

Traveling over Cathedral Pass, the Sunrise Trail offers spectacular views of the mountains of Yosemite. The flower show midseason along Echo Creek is unbelievable. From the east flank of Tressider Peak, hikers can see the peaks around Vogelsang High Sierra Camp in the southeast, the whole Clark Range in the south, and the peaks on the Park border in both directions farther away.
