Glacier Point

Fodor's Review:

A Yosemite hot spot for its sweeping, bird's-eye views, Glacier Point looms 3,214 feet above the Valley. From the parking area, walk a few hundred yards and you'll see waterfalls, Half Dome, and other mountain peaks. It's a tremendous place to watch the sun set. Glacier Point is also a popular hiking destination. You can make the strenuous hike up, or take a bus ($15) to the top and hike down. The bus runs June through October, weather permitting; call 209/372-1240 for schedules.
