Beautiful views of the area. Really consider being there at sunrise. The sun will rise over (or just to the side of) Half Dome. The lighting creates a beautiful effect throughout the park as it winds its way across the valley.

If you do try to make sunrise, plan ahead. It may be a significant drive, depending upon where you're staying overnight, but it is well worth the effort.

From what we saw, not enough people do it. It wasn't crowded, but it really should have had more people.

Also: this is a significant elevation change from many areas of the park. Plan for whatever weather is happening at the top. It was much hotter when we visited the first time, cooler the second.

I would go to sentinel dome if you don t mind a hike. In the morning it is empty and a way better view than glacier point.

You have to experience sunrise over half dome. Their are several trails from the top of glacier point that leads to Yosemite valley. Unfortunately their is no free shuttle service that will take you to glacier point.

Drove my car with my family to Yosemite last weekend, decided to visit glacier point, it was wait for 45 minutes, we spent couple of hours there walking on trails and watching half dome and other places. Later checked the pictures taken, all shots were great.

Fantastic views. This should definitely be on your short list. It's also open at night for stargazing -- people mostly whispered and kept quiet. There's a gift shop. The lines for the bathrooms can be long. On your way to/from Glacier Point, be sure to stop for the hike to Sentinel Dome for a wonderful 360 degree view.

Parking was packed, but it did cycle pretty quickly, so we were able to park without an issue within a 15 minutes. Prepare yourself for pit toilets, bring your hand sanitizer. Dogs are allowed on trail in this area, but not the trails that go off from here.
The views are stunning as always, but why, oh why, do people have to balance in precarious positions on the very edge of a 4000 foot drop? Sure it makes for a cool picture or whatever, but can we just sit down when a momentary lapse of balance is all it takes to die with 300 onlookers? Sorry to get all negative, but it just gave me a panic attack. NPS needs their own version of "Dumb Ways to Die - Yosemite Version".

Enjoy! Safely!

The best view to see Yosemite Valley. It is so beautiful and relaxing. The ride to get here can be very challenging, narrow, zigzag roads with heavy traffic at mid-day. Start early. We took the 4-hour Glacier Point Tour from the valley to get here. We were given an hour to explore the park.

Best place to see the dome at sunset!
It may takes a while to get there but it's all worth it once you get there... Even I been in Yosemite many times this is by far the best views...so dramatic and sunset with the light lighting up the half dome is breath taking. Unforgettable views and memories.
If you are unsure to go or not, just go, you'll be pleased you did it.

From glacier point, we can get better view of half dome, yosemite falls and other places. Park ranger service was very good. Park ranger was informative and knowledgeable person. By evening we reached this point and we spent about two hours here.

The views from Glacier Point are some of the grandest in the world. Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls in the Merced River Canyon...Tenaya Canyon descending from the high Sierra below Half Dome...and a glorious view of Yosemite Valley 3,200 feet straight down...right below you! Not to be missed, but only way out to the Point in winter is on X Country skis or snowshoes. Don't forget your camera!

Drove with a c30 (30 ft rv which is the limit). And it went fine. Corners are a little tight but it's manageable. The view was spectacular and the footpaths were clean and well maintained. A must see.

Glacier Point offers the greatest easily accessible views of Yosemite, and probably all of Sierra. You get to see the valley from a bird's perspective and Half Dome dominates the view on the other side of the valley. An absolute must for any Yosemite visitor.
