The trail to Sentinel Dome was not extremely difficult as compared to others. it is relatively short and the altitude gain is gradual, except for a short section near the top. The view from atop was extraordinary. Could see El Capital, Half Dome, Nevada Falls, Vernal Falls, Yosemite Falls, surrounding mountains and valleys. Stayed on top for over one hour.... More

Very short on parking - but can park above and meet up with the park superb views from the top - well worth the walk and climb at the end - which is OK to walk

It is debatable whether this viewpoint is better .. but it is no disappointment. One guarantee is that there will be fewer tourists. This 2 mile hike is not strenuous. You will be pleased with your choice. Mid-Afternoon summer sun is the best time for photographs - and there some great ones!

This is without a doubt the most rewarding view in Yosemite. A rather tiresome walk takes you up this dome, on which you will feel like you're standing on top of the world. Not too crowded, so you'll have some peace and quiet to enjoy the 360 overview.
