1. Take in the views at Glacier Point

 

Glacier Point is a well-known rustic geological formation in high above the famous Yosemite Valley on the south side of the valley in California’s Yosemite National Park. It towers 7214 feet high and is 3200 feet higher than Half Dome Village. The point is popular for the superb sunsets that can be seen from the top. It also offers exceptional views of a number of the park’s famous landmarks including Clouds Rest, Half Dome, Nevada Fall, Vernal Fall, Yosemite Falls, and the Yosemite Valley.

2. Hike to the Sentinel Dome and Taft Point

If you can handle a bit of hike then you certainly must go hiking to Taft Point and Sentinel Dome. The hike can be done in a single loop but if you choose to do both hikes at once it’s a bit longer and more work. The two hikes can be done separately and are both reported to be roughly 2.2 miles round trip. These hikes offer the opportunity to take in not only beautiful views but also to see wildlife. The best time to go is between April and November.
