Glacier Point overlooks Yosemite Valley from 3,200 ft up, giving you expansive panoramas of Yosemite National Park’s notable landmarks. You can hike to the viewpoint from the valley via the Four Mile Trail or Panorama Trail, which is 8.2 miles.
Alternately, a bus tour will allow you to take in the High Sierra, including El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and Half Dome, as well as Yosemite Falls, Nevada Falls, and Vernal Falls – all within a 4-hour guided excursion. Tours usually leave the Yosemite Lodge at 8.30 am, 10 am, and 1.30 pm.

Yosemite Falls is a picturesque landmark and hiking spot in Yosemite National Park. With a height of over 2,425 ft, it’s the tallest waterfall in North America. Surrounded by the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it’s especially beautiful in late spring, with peak flow usually in May.
You can reach the top of Yosemite Falls via a 7.2-mile roundtrip trail, which takes about 8 hours of strenuous hiking. It’s a good idea to start your journey early as there’s little to no shade along the way. For an easier hike, you can tackle the 1-mile loop trail leading to the base of the Lower Yosemite Falls.
