Enjoy one of Yosemite National Park’s most enthralling views from Glacier Point, an outlook area that presents a sweeping scenic vista. Standing at 3,214 feet above the valley floor (and 7,214 feet above sea level), you truly get a chance to soak in all the valley has to offer: The panoramic view from Glacier Point takes in Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and three waterfalls. If you go at night (or stay until it’s dark), you can see the Milky Way spread across the sky like a diamond necklace.
