After hiking nearly all of Yosemite Valley's trails, I saved the hardest one for last. The Snow Creek trail off of the Mirror Lake loop rises over 2,600' in only 2 miles (1,300'/mile) . For comparison, Four Mile is 3,200' in 4.4 miles (725'/mile) and Upper Yosemite Falls is 2,700' in 2.6 miles (1040'/mile). I managed to complete this brutal hike - but was it worth it?
