For a visit to the park, one should rather switch to spring and autumn, where there is much less going on. In 2011, 21,000 visitors came to the park on a warm June day, setting the previous day’s record. Especially in the summer months it can get really crowded here. Although the 12-kilometre-long valley represents only about 1 of the total area of Yosemite National Park, it is the most visited “attraction” in the entire national park. The Yosemite Valley is located in the middle of the high granite peaks and is considered the heart of Yosemite National Park. The view from Glacier Point is simply fantastic and was for us one of the highlights of our visit to Yosemite National Park. We had really great weather here again for the season and could even walk around in a T-shirt. If you are on the road, you can reach Glacier Point via the 7.7 km long Four Mile Trail – the hike should be very strenuous, but scenically very beautiful.įrom Glacier Point car park, a short, cobbled path leads to the observation deck, which is about 1,000 meters above Yosemite Valley. From Yosemite Valley it takes about 1 to 1.5 hours by car to Glacier Point. In winter, you can only get there with skis or snowshoes. The viewpoint is easily accessible for cars via the 26 km long Glacier Point Road – but only from about the end of May to October/November, depending on the snow conditions.
Glacier Point is a viewpoint at an altitude of 2,200 meters with a magnificent view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Vernal and Nevada Falls and the highlands of Yosemite National Park.
