Don't be afraid of driving here youself-it's a drive that almost anyone can do. Winding roads, but very safe. Several pull offs if you wnt to let others pass you by. It is the best view of the Park! bathrooms and a small snack area available. Go before 10 am or you will be crowded with tour busses every hour... more

We arrived early and this area wasn't too crowded. One can see several waterfalls, the valley floor and a great view of the Half Dome. There is a store at this area along with bathrooms. more

Everyone should go to Yosemite National Park at least once in their lifetime and you have to see Glacier Point when you go there. No matter how many pictures you have seen or taken of Glacier Point, pictures cannot do the place justice. Generations of people have stood at Glacier Point and all have been captivated by it. Personally, the... more

It's a must-see when visiting Yosemite for the first time. Glacier Point is certainly one candidate for the world's greatest viewpoint that can be driven to. Only views of the Grand Canyon have this kind of scale and sweep. Photographs taken from Glacier Point are numerous and easy to find on web sites. The view looks exactly like what you... more

If you are going to Yosemite and don't plan of doing any major hiking up one of the granite domes in the park, I suggest that you drive up Glacier Point (directions everywhere in the park). It's a must see since this will give you the best views of Yosemite Valley, esp. Half Dome, without the pain and sweat involved... more

This was our first stop after we checked into the hotel. As other reviews state, it is a must see but you must remember it is at least a 35-45 minute drive from Yosemite Valley so plan accordingly and bring the camera! more

You should definitely make Glacier Point a stop while you are in Yosemite National Park. It is perfect no matter how long your trip is. The views from Glacier Point are spectacular. You are able to see half dome, north dome, vernal and nevada falls...Practically the entire park! I would not suggest you go here at sunset because it is... more

This was a great place to start our adventure to Yosemite. From this point you can see half dome, various waterfalls and Yosemite valley. We came up the 41 so this was a simple turn off on the way into the Valley. We got an overview of almost all of Yosemite and after we got setteled we couldn't wait to... more
