Glacier Point sits at 7,214 feet above sea level on the south rim of Yosemite Valley, offering an unobstructed panorama of Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and the High Sierra. The overlook is one of the most photographed vantages in the Sierra Nevada, with the afternoon light casting long shadows across the granite domes. A road-accessible viewpoint, it also serves as the trailhead for routes descending into the valley.
