Mount Dana | Trail and Summit

Mount Dana is the second highest peak in Yosemite, towering at 13,061 feet of elevation. It's a breathtaking hike (literally), with breathtaking, gorgeous views, including a 360 view if you reach the summit.

On this video I share my two adventures trying to reach the summit, one failed attempt in October 1, 2023, and the more recent success on July 28, 2024. I hope you enjoy the video and that it may be useful and inspiring.

Barefoot shoes are great, Daniel. I have been wearing them a year and am so thankful to God for his grace in my life. Phew, that’s steep. I love watching your hikes. Your ironic sense of humour makes me laugh! Wow, what a wonderful place to be. Thank you! 😀

Hey Daniel, this is Josh, the solo hiker that was on the mountain with you all on that snowy day in October. I even make a short cameo appearance in your video at 42:09 😁 I have followed your channel since we met that day, and I'm glad you uploaded the footage.

And I am super glad you got to go back and summit! And wow, what incredible views you get when you aren't hiking through the middle of a snowstorm. I moved back to the east coast earlier this year, so I won't be back on Mt Dana any time soon, but I am confident I will return one day and conquer the mountain like you.

It was great meeting you and the rest of your group that day and to have some company on the hike.

Pastor Daniel, that is some beautiful place. Well done. It may not be perfect like in the beginning but it’s still beautiful 💖

Hey Daniel! Good to see you, i remember participating in this channel when you gave a Bible away. Maybe in 2019, where we needed to put in a verse thar reflected the sacrifice of Jesus.
Your video is recommended again after a while
