The Sentinel Dome Trail is one of the shortest hikes in Yosemite, so you don’t have to tire yourself out to enjoy spectacular views. It’s about a 2.2-mile roundtrip, with the trailhead located 3,500 feet above Yosemite Valley, just off the Glacier Point Road.
Once you reach the top of Sentinel Dome, expect panoramic views of prominent Yosemite landmarks such as El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and Clouds Rest. You might be able to see Mount Diablo on clear days. You can only hike the Sentinel Dome Trail when the Glacier Point Road is open, usually between June and October.
Location: Yosemite Village, CA 95389, USA

You can get to the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River via a 50-mile loop route that starts on the Glen Aulin Trailhead at Tuolumne Meadows. The trail descends 3,500 feet on rather steep switchbacks, so sturdy and grippy shoes are highly recommended.
You’ll pass by many dramatic waterfalls in the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River, including White Cascade Falls, Tuolumne Falls, and California Falls. A must-see is Waterwheel Falls, where you can see water continually propelled into the air, which looks like a counter-clockwise wheel.
