We have been to Yosemite now 3 times and the view from Glacier point is our favourite in America. Go early for the sun rise and then again to see it set. The colours of the valley below and the magnificent mountains change colour every minute. If you go early the peace and reverence when surely give you a special... More

Nothing can prepare you for the experience that is seeing Glacier Point for the first time. You will truly be in AWE ! The majesty of the place cannot really be described in words because there are no words adequate to the task. GO and see for yourself! More

We were fortunate to visit on a cloudless afternoon with very minimal crowds and were able to spend time just in awe of the beauty of Yosemite. The drive up Glacier Point Rd is fairly easy except...

This is mother nature at her best. Yellowstone is magnificent and the Grand Canyon is amazing but for shear beauty this view tops them all. Better in late May or June when the waterfalls are at their peak but anytime the road is open this trip is more than worth it. More
