Smith Peak Trail

Smith Peak Trail is a roughly 13.4-mile out-and-back foot trail in Yosemite National Park, California. It climbs 3,500 ft to a high point of 7,754 ft. Difficulty: very strenuous, from the NPS hiking-rating formula. That is the full hike: the mapped trail line covers only 3.16 mi of it, so don't plan from the map line alone. The figure is for the Park Service's “Smith Peak” hike, which uses this trail.
