Glacier Point perspective

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CA - - As part of our job training we got sent on a 4 hour tour to Glacier Point. Tough work, if you can get it. The Point overlook is a 7,200' and affords a special view. This photo included Half Dome (upper left); Nevada Fall which runs into Vernal Fall (lower right). The trail we hiked to Nevada went up the right side of Vernal Fall on the Mist Trail; crossed over by bridge and continued up the left side of Nevada to the top. From this perspective it looks like a 'little hike.'

You can hike to Glacier Point, which we did 4 years ago, on 4-Mile Trail....which is nearly five miles long...and gains 3,200' elevation from the valley floor. Of course, you have to hike back down also.

The day was a bit hazy without direct sunlight which makes the photo appear a bit 'flat' as you look out into the wilderness.
