\nThis was a fun short but steep hike with fantastic views of the park.

Summary:<\/strong>
The summit trailhead and peak is just inside the Yosemite national park directly across from Mt. Dana.  The Trailhead to Gaylor starts just inside the park entrance so you can drive up to but not in the park if you want.  If you don\u2019t have a pass, this can save you some $$$ and time waiting in line to get in if you start after \u201ctimed entry\u201d.  Go early and just park in the lot at the gate entrance.  There are great views of the entire area!  It\u2019s a short hike of one mile up, but has 1,000 feet of gain so you will feel it.  You\u2019ll start at 10,000 feet so if you are bringing blood that is calibrated to sea level, it\u2019s going to be a good blow.

The Hike:<\/strong>
The hike is very pretty and the views just get better and better as you approach the top of Gaylor.  I setup on the very top, out on the end of the ridge where very few visitors go.  The top is a bit of a knife edge, 6 to 10 feet wide, which makes it pretty effing epic.  Itt\u2019s not really dangerous and your antenna will love it.

I made plenty of contacts and had a blast hiking with Charlie (NJ7V),  and Javier (K6TNT)

I highly recommend this summit, so don\u2019t leave without checking this off your list.  I can\u2019t wait to get back to it.
