On our second day drive in Yosemite, we decided to drive to Glacier Point. Right after we went through the South Entrance of the park, we took a left, like the last time we came to go to the valley. |
After a 18 mile drive through some of the park, we turned right, shortly after going past the sign that says-Yosemite West. |
From that point, it is another 16 miles of a curvy and up hill road. |
At one point I had Joe pull over to enjoy this view. |
Don't pull off to close to the edge of the road though, because it is straight down! |
Washburn is a must stop on the way to Glacier Point. Can you believe that view in the distance? |
Views of the High Sierra's, WOW! |
Nevada and Vernal Falls in the picture above. |
View to the east. |
Close up of Nevada Falls and Vernal Falls. |
Nevada Fall drops 594 feet. |
Vernal Fall drops 317 feet. |
I saw another fall below, but didn't see any name or information about it. |
I zoomed in on the fall in this picture. |

Even if we didn't see Glacier Point and turned around here, the drive would have been worth it to see this view. |
A group of people were standing around looking through their binoculars. |
I asked a guy what they were all looking at. |
He told me that there were some rock climbers on Half Dome. He tried telling me where they were, when looking through our binoculars. |
The man had told me to look for a white line just left to the eye brows on Half Dome. I told him I didn't see a white line, but a nose below the eye brows. |
He told me to look left of the nose, and I found them. I don't know how he saw them in the fist place! |
Time to check out Glacier Point. |
As we backed the car out of the parking lot, I took one last picture of someone poising for the boulder shot. We wondered how many pictures are taken each year on that rock. |
This curve in the road was a bit scary! |
Sure glad the scary part was real short! |
