Backpacking to North Dome in Yosemite National Park

One of the lesser visited spots near the Valley is North Dome, a ~15 mile round trip from the valley (as I did) or a shorter hike from Tioga Road. The trip from the valley starts at Mirror Lake and ascends a few thousand feet up Snow Creek Trail which includes nearly 100 switchbacks. The view from North Dome is incredible. You can see Tenaya Canyon to the northeast, the face of Half Dome to the east, Glacier Point to the south, El Capitan to the west, and the valley floor all around.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Thanks to Randall, Anthony, Ace and Glenn for company while camping at North Dome. Let me know what you guys think.

This video was taken with a Canon Vixia HF200 videocamera usually using a Feisol CT-3441SB Tripod and an external microphone and edited using Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0.

Thanks! I always mean to do a "what did I take in my pack" video but I haven't had time the past few trips. I'm headed out this weekend so maybe soon.

Nicely done. Captures a sense of wilderness and beauty of Yosemite. Thank you for sharing.

Could you do a video of the stuff you keep in your backpack? Your video is awesome man!

[Hordesthugz13]

So what do you have to have some sort of license or something to backpack there or can you just do it? so you were able just to set up camp anywhere therE?

That was 9 minutes and 58 seconds of backpacking video perfection. The best I've seen and I've literally seen hundreds. Thanks for sharing man.

what a fantastic video

[krrrruptidsoless]

Beautiful. And best left uncommentated at the scenery shots. 5/5 Those are commercial quality photo shots. Hook up with a magazine and do a shoot and a article. Wlidlife shots that most people would scare away with talking all the time.
