Yosemite NP - Glacier Point



Jul 17th. I get up really early as I have an hours drive to get to the village and catch the hikers bus so I can do the 1 way Panorama trail. This is an 11 mile hike from Glacier Point down to the valley floor. The bus ride up to Glacier Point is cool and the views from up here are mind blowing. From glacier point you are overlooking the valley and you can see lots of the spectacular granite monoliths and the sheer scale of everything is impressive. There are lots of waterfalls visible which I will be hiking past later. It really is one of those 'wow' moments.
