This park is AMAZE! Tunnel View, Glacier Park ++. You will need several days to fully enjoy it! Make sure to check out their website for useful info prior to visit. Respect the nature and animals!

Taking the trail from Yosemite Creek to the Falls is fantastic! It's about 18 miles for an out & back. Be prepared to take lots of water & prepare your climbing legs - about 2700 ft of vertical gain!

A hike along the Gaylor Lakes Trail offers possible encounters with some wonderful critters: the pika and the annual spring love songs of the Yosemite toad and Pacific chorus frogs. -Beth Pratt (NWF)

The hike on Four Mile Trail from Yosemite Valley to the top of Glacier Point takes about 3-4 hours each way. If you’re looking for something a bit tougher, the Panorama Trail is about twice as long. Read more

The place is amazing. The waterfalls and the huge granite rocks are a pleasure to watch. Make sure that you spend atleast 2 full days here so that there is enough time to explore the entire park.

This place is heaven on earth…we spent 7 days in Yosemite and it did not disappoint. Go in off peak times (November) and you practically have all trails and the park to yourself 🌲

Top of half dome is breathtaking! Great views from Nevada Falls as well. Hike up the John Muir trail for an easier hike or the Mist trail for a more challenging hike towards the start of halfdome.

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever been! The nature, the scenery.. It's incredible.. If u ever have the opportunity to go, you definitely should!

One of the most beautiful parks I have ever seen! Fantastic! If you are coming from San Francisco, enter using the 120 and go back using 140. Both have amazing views!

Don't do the mistake and drive up there by car. We did the hike to glacier point and it was insanely beautiful!!! It's a fairly easy trail with awesome views <3

Yosemite fall is one of the highest waterfalls in the world. The High Sierra Loop trail a hike to Vernal falls is one of best hike I had. Just prepare your leg muscles going all the way to the top. :)
Daphne GoonOctober 21, 2018
Very nice picturesque scenery! If you love nature, you have to visit and stay a night and cover more places or climb El Capitan!
Robin JonesMay 18, 2018
So many breathtaking sights are easily accessible along the Valley Loop! Make the drive up to Glacier Point - the views are worth it!
Jesse JohnstonNovember 17, 2014
What's not to love about Yosemite? Anyone living in the Bay Area should make a weekend trip (if not longer), drive down one morning, hike that day and the next morning, drive back. Too cool to miss.
Michelle HernandezJune 16, 2013
Plan before you go and get familiar with how to get to the places you'd like to hike to. Oh and try to stay more than a day. It's so big and if you really want to relax and enjoy you gotta take time.
Mike DJune 7, 2016
One of the most beautiful places on earth. Truly life changing. Take the mist trail in the spring and climb as high as you can go.
PettranSeptember 20, 2015
Absolutely love the views hiking around the mountains and waterfalls. Taft point was something really special 👍🏼 We saw two bears 🐻🐻

Incredible. Lodging, food, history, views, fresh air, friendly rangers. All ages friendly. One short, quick and easy hike to Sentinel Dome and change your life forever.

The vistas, the hikes, the flowing rivers, the standing pools.. the views
Erik WitzigNovember 15, 2013
If you are a first time visitor, the number of sights you need to see are endless, but if you are there for a short period of time, Glacier Point is a must see! You can see all major land marks!!!
KarenJanuary 23, 2019
Can't even begin to tell you how majestic this park is. If you haven't been yet, add it to your bucket list. Need at least a few days here to explore.
Chris LeeJuly 6, 2015
A buddy and I did a one day 20 miles RT hike from Glacier Point to the top of Half Dome.He said it usually a three day hike, but we did it in 14 hrs, could've been faster but I was dying & needed rest
Peter YoungNovember 11, 2017
Beautiful park but crowded. Several road projects going on now making getting around challenging
Jacqueline WalkerAugust 18, 2013
Take a trip up to Tunnel View for a great photo of some of Yosemite's icons, including Half Dome & Bridal Veil Falls.

This is definitely on my bucket list of places to go. There is so much to see and do with all those spectacular views. Can't wait to get out there. Read more

The crown jewel of the NPS. If you want to escape the crowds, the Pohono trail is a smorgasbord of breathtaking views. Take the bus up from Yosemite Lodge one way and leave a car at tunnel view.
HISTORYAugust 26, 2010
Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada. In 1855, entrepreneur James Mason Hutchings & artist Thomas Ayres were the first to tour the area.
Nick CampionSeptember 8, 2014
Can't do everything in 1 day, we started at Mariposa Grove at 9am, then Tunnel View, Bridalveil, Lower Yosemite Falls, Swinging Bridge, hiked Taft point and sentinel dome and then glacier point for SS

Another treasure of the world! All around view is amazing! Need to make reservation months ahead of time!
Chloe ZoharMay 8, 2016
Everything there is just so astoundingly beautiful. It makes you feel so small and so lucky to be there.
Mohammed Al-SharifOctober 15, 2019
Absolutely beautiful. We stopped our car every 5 minutes to enjoy the beautiful places there
Chris LeeMarch 27, 2013
A bud & I did a hike from Glacier Pt to Half Dome in 1 day (18 hrs). My bud could have done it faster, but I was dying on the way back. This was a few years back, next time it'll be a 3 day hike.

A delightful natural experience. Many places in Muir College at University of California San Diego are named after places in Yosemite in honor of John Muir.

The "Tunnel View" as well as the "Glacier Point" are two must sees. Worth the drive :-)!!

In the summer, make the effort to start your hike early! You miss the crowds & high temps later on! You'll be so glad when you're coming down and ppl are just starting! Bring more H2O than you need!!!

Stop at the Tunnel View area - best view of Yosemite valley, El Capitan, Half Dome rock, and Bridalveil Falls. The best view in the park by far! :)
Sam PorterAugust 3, 2013
Check out the Dewey's Point hike off Glacier Park Rd. it's a great 8 mile round trip hike through valleys and woods with an awe inspiring vista at the end.
Beverly Hills DadAugust 2, 2012

Beautiful park all year round. Don't limit yourself to the valley, and enjoy some trails.
