About This Trail
It's a good idea to drive to the best view. You will be amazed by the view of the Valley, Half Dome and 3 Falls. Many new visitors to the park stop at Glacier Point on the way to the valley. It's not much of a hike, but the view at the end of the walkway will leave you breathless. You will see the Lower and Upper parts of the falls, as well as Clouds Rest and Half Dome. What else could you ask for? If you strap on a pair of skis or snowshoes, you can go to Glacier Point in the winter. The Glacier Point Ski Hut has bunk beds that aredormitory, a wood fire, food, and good company.
