About 45 mins to drive up here from the highway. You can also take a bus from Visitor Center to here for 30(?) bucks, which is a convenient way to do some one-way hikes such as Panorama trail .

Cathrine Johansen

It's such a beautiful view point! You have great view to Half Dome and. Parking can be tricky during the busiest seasons. A LOT of bees when we were here in September, annoying!

Justin Sullivan

From Yosemite falls to your left to Half Dome and Nevada Falls on the right, a spring trip to Glacier Point on the spring weekend the road opened did not disappoint.

Milad Cerkic

Great spot with amazing ???? view over 1/4 of Yosemite park . Must see!!

Pettran

Very touristic (you can go by car all the way up) but cool anyway, and well worth the trip.

Steve Lavington

Astonishing views of the Yosemite valley- well worth the detour (probably about 45 mins round trip from highway 41)

Angus the Centaur

Wake up and go early to avoid tourist buses or better yet hike there via Four Mile Trail . You can see 1/4th of Yosemite from up there.

Michal Hanisch

Best time for taking pictures is in the afternoon and sunset . At the morning it is not recommended, if you wanna take best photos :-).

Jinnie L

Amazing/breathtaking views . One of the best point view in yosemite national park. Becareful when u drive up here elevation of 7214 feet. ;P

Mike Kowalczyk

Can't beat the sunsets here. Takes a while to drive up and arrive at least 30 minutes early to grab a good spot.

Shelly Tang

Definitely worth a visit. If you have the time and energy, I recommend hiking the Four-Mile trail to Glacier Point!

Zakk DeVine

Can't go to Yosemite without a trip to Glacier Point! Great views and near Sentinel Dome as well !

Juliette D

Breathtaking views make the hike up worthwhile! Can also drive but the walk is beautiful too!

Scott R.

A must-do BEFORE hitting Yosemite Valley if entering by the southern Wawona/Hwy 41 entrance. Breathtaking high-country views .

Angie Purcell

An absolute must to see some amazing panoramas of the valley.

Cassius P

Amazing view , must see!

Tim Meredith

Go here on a summer full moon and capture spectacular images illuminated only by moon light. Don't forget your tripod as you'll need to expose for several minutes.

Mark

Want it entirely to yourself? Go at night. As long as the moon is out, it is incredible.

Pete Kung

If you come to Yosemite natural park don't miss this out

Ken M

It's adds quite a few miles and you have to drive out and back by the same road . But, if you miss Glacier Point you will kick yourself! This has to be one of the most spectacular views in the world.

Erik Brok

The view is well worth the 30 min drive from the valley

Paulina

Best time to hike here is when the road is closed.

Joao Correia

Beautiful place. Bring warm clothes just in case!

Davo Carpenter

Pictures don't do the views up here any justice. You have to come up and experience it for yourself!

Ken M

(Closed in winter.) Don't be put off by the round trip. At the end of this road is what IMHO is one of the most superb views in the world.

Pelin Güvenç Kefel

Incredible view ! Stay for the sunset ????

Lillian Young

Take the bus tour up and hike down via Panorama Trail .

Al B.

Definitely a long drive and if you're crazy enough, an extremely long hike .

Lance Lee

Amazing park

Kurtis Sherry

Make sure you’re here in time for sunset
