There are five main capital excursions to be made from here--to the summits of Mounts Dana, Lyell and Conness, and through the Bloody Cañon Pass to Mono Lake and the volcanoes, and down the Tuolumne Cañon, at least as far as the foot of the wonderful series of river cataracts.
The excursion to the top of Mount Dana is a very easy one; for though the mountain is 13,000 feet high, the ascent from the west side is so gentle and smooth that one may ride a mule to the very summit.

Also during 1864, King climbed and named Mount Tyndall (after the famous mountaineer of the Alps) and named Mount Whitney when he determined that it was the highest peak in the United States (Whitney's survey party was reserving the name Mount Whitney for the highest peak in the Sierra).

 SummitPost.org - Mount Hoffmann Climbing Information
Mount Hoffmann, aka Mount Hoffman and Hoffman Peak, located near the geographic center of Yosemite National Park (YNP), is one of the most popular hiking and trail running peaks in the park.
The excellent summit views, short summit trail (3 miles), and close proximity to Tioga Road (aka CA SR-120, distance 2 miles) ensure this is so (characteristics it shares with Mount Dana and Lembert Dome).
Like Mount Dana, the easiest summit route is one of use and unsigned, however, unlike the former peak, Mount Hoffmann has an antenna on top.

 Features of the Proposed Yosemite National Park. By John Muir. The Century Magazine, Vol. XL., No. 5 (September, 1890).
Northward and southward the jagged peaks and towers that are marshaled along the axis of the range are seen in all their glory, crowded together in some places like trees in groves, making landscapes of wild, extravagant, bewildering magnificence, yet calm and silent as the scenery of the sky.
One of these is the Dana Glacier on the northeast side of the mountain, Iying at the foot of a precipice about a thousand feet high, with a lovely pale-green lake in the general basin a little below the glacier.
In the excursion to Mount Lyell the immediate base of the mountain is easily reached on horseback by following the meadows along the river.
