Yosemite Valley

When the sun goes down and the stars come out, the magic truly begins. And a magical night deserves a magical place. A place where you can stand on top of the world, look at an endless landscape, and be so close to the sky that you can almost reach out for the stars. This is Glacier Point.

How to get there

N37° 43' 50.6626"W119° 34' 26.693"

From the parking lot walk East and the trail/path should be very easy to find. You'll walk past a huge building on your left, then a small castle-like building on your right, just a bit further down the path and you've made it to Glacier Point. I stood a bit north of Glacier Point for this view.
