Glacier Point

Hiking Trail

Easy
0.5 mi
31 ft
A leisurely loop taking you to a stunning lookout point.

For most of the way the path is flat and paved, so there’s no problem for strollers and wheelchairs. The route leads you to an exhilarating lookout point above Curry Village, which sits on the ground of Yosemite Valley, a staggering 3,214 feet below! The 270-degree panorama is spectacular, Half Dome and the High Sierra lie to the east, and there’s waterfalls, dozens of peaks and of course, glacial deposits to admire. Start the walk from the Glacier Point carpark, and follow the signed path to the lookout. There’s conveniently also a small shop at the trailhead if you need to stock up on supplies.
