Mirror Lake is famous for its perfect reflection of Half Dome and Washington Column. For those who are not climbers, the lesser known Washington Column, photographed here, sits directly across the valley from Half Dome and has been the proving ground for many aid climbers throughout climbings history because of it’s steep walls and large ledge in the middle, allowing climbers to sleep without a porta-ledge. Throughout the year, sediment collects in the bottom of Mirror Lake, making this once iconic stop for hikers less common. If you want to see Yosemite’s Mirror Lake in it’s full grandeur, make sure to plan your visit during the spring, or early summer.
