Quote: "What happened to the other half of Half Dome?"We were in Glacier Point listening to the Ranger Sunset Talk when a little girl asked this question. It was an interesting discussion... something about how, for thousands of years, glaciers shaped the... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review

4-Mile Hike
Quote: It was sooo hot and humid when my family and I started the hike, pretty unbearable actually. The mosquitoes were unavoidable, but when you have a chit-chatting family, it's not that long of a hike.

Glacier Point and Panoramic Trail

  • 4 out of 5 stars by DEZdimona from Alrewas, South Africa
  • October 25, 2004
Quote: We hiked down from Glacier point. It is a very steep climb, and although only 4 miles, it took about 4 hours, as you can't walk very fast. It was quite tiring on the calf muscles. There wasn't much water, so carry some with you. It was beautiful... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review

Quote: Start at the 4-mile Glacier Point hike, which brings you straight up (via swtichbacks) to Glacier Point. It is a strenuous climb, but the views are unparalleled. Continue on the Panorama trail, again beautiful views, heading down the Mist Trail to... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review

You are left speechless by its sheer beauty and size. I could... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review

Quote: How about a view on top of the world? At Glacier Point you almost feel this way. It is about 30 miles south of Yosemite Valley (really on 15, but to get there it is a 30 mile drive or a 4 hour hike). Once you are there, you can view down into... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review

Quote: As you'd imagine, driving up to Glacier Point is quite windy, and could be tough if your loaded down in an economy class car. Glacier View is probably the best panoramic view you can expect to get while at Yosemite. Our first glimpse of Half Dome... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review

Quote: Breath-taking. You will be looking over the entire Yosemite Valley, across to Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Vernal and Nevada falls - everything. It's almost as high as Half Dome at 7214'. This is "the" view in Yosemite, and winter brings uncrowded... Read the full Glacier Point Trail Hike review
