Know Before You Go:
Glacier Point is the final destination of this hike and is also accessible by car during the summer via Glacier Point Road.
This trail will give you some of the best views of Yosemite's landmarks like Yosemite Falls, Vernal and Nevada Falls, Half Dome, Clouds Rest and Yosemite Valley.
Yes you can drive, but the hike is extremely rewarding and we highly recommend! Plus - the trail often opens long before the road so this hikes provides the unique experience of having the normally crowded Glacier Point all to yourselves if you go early enough in the season!
