2020 Road Trip, Part 2: Glacier Point

For day 3 at Yosemite we, with tired legs from the day before, parked near Yosemite Village and walked a short loop past lower Yosemite Falls and back, bought some snacks and a poster from the store, and then drove up to Glacier Point.

From Glacier Point we could see the trails we hiked the day before and it helped provide scale to the valley. We drove back to a trailhead which took us to Taft Point (the rock sticking out that Mia stands on) and then we hiked to Sentinel Dome for sunset. This area looks higher than anywhere else so you have incredible views looking down on the valley and on Half Dome. It was awesome! It was also basically empty everywhere.

The next post is when we take Tioga Pass out of Yosemite and have to change our plans.
