Moderate | Sentinel Dome - 2.2 miles.
Note: Stunning view from the top of a granite dome.
Moderate | Taft Point & the Fissures - 2.2 miles.
Note: There are wonderful views of Yosemite Valley. Watch children closely. The Fissures feature 3,000-foot drops to the valley floor.
Moderate | Sentinel Dome - Taft Point 5-mile loop.
Note: Starting toward Sentinel Dome is the easiest—it’s uphill to the top of Sentinel Dome, then mostly downhill or level out to Taft Point and back. The hike can be done in either direction.
Easy | McGurk Meadow - 2 miles.
Note: Marvelous wildflower displays in summer are easily accessible (but be aware it is uphill on the way back)!
Moderate | Dewey Point - 8 miles.
Note: One of the most outstanding views of Yosemite Valley available.
Moderately Strenuous | Panorama Trail - 8.5 miles one-way, 16 miles round trip.
Note: Great hike for spring, summer, or fall! Descends from Glacier Point down to Illilouette Falls. From there, climb uphill to Illilouette Ridge and continue to the junction with the John Muir Trail and on to the top of Nevada Fall, then down to Yosemite Valley via the John Muir Trail (easier but longer) or the Mist Trail (shorter but steep with high stone steps).
Happy Hiking!
