Glacier Point Yosemite National Park 

Glacier point provides you with a vista that is  4000 ft above Yosemite valley.  From the point,  you will have an overview of Yosemite Falls and Half Dome.  Additionally, you can look into the expanse of the High Sierras including  the Merced River Valley with its magnificent Nevada  and Vernal water falls.    There are also many walks to more view points from along this road.   I would encourage any hikers to trek the Panorama Trail from Glacier Point to Illilouette Falls, then to Nevada Falls, from there going down the Mist Trail past Vernal Falls to Happy Isles in the Valley.  To accessed Glacier Point, take CA 41 south of Yosemite Valley then  turn off CA 41 at Glacier Point Rd  and travel to the road's end.  Along the way, make sure to stop at Washburn Point.  By continuing south along CA 41, you will arrive at the Mariposa Sequoia Grove where you can view the giant trees that are thousands of years old.
