See Yosemite from Above

While exploring Yosemite from the valley is an amazing experience, if you can make it up to Glacier Point you will not regret it! There are many hikes that start from Glacier Point and on the way up that range from easy to extremely challenging.

My favorite was Taft Point and the Fissures. This was just a quick half-mile walk (very easy!) through the woods. It seems very unassuming until you step out on the rocks and the whole world opens up in front of you! It seriously feels like you are on top of the world and is a truly breathtaking experience.
