"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 more

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.

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 more

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 more

Best of IgoUgo 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 more

Best of IgoUgo 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 more
