About

One of the most spectacular views on Earth, Glacier Point is an easily-accesible overlook more than 3,000 feet above the Yosemite Valley floor. Half Dome and Yosemite Fall are the focal points, with Yosemite Village and Curry Village below in the valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains providing a dramatic backdrop beyond. Restrooms and a seasonal snack stand are available near the large parking lot.
