Four Mile Trail to
Glacier Point

The Four Mile Trail to Glacier Point is a spectacular hike in Yosemite National Park, offering breathtaking views of Yosemite Valley, El Capitan, and Half Dome. This 4.8-mile (one-way) trail starts near Yosemite Valley Lodge and ascends over 3,200 feet to Glacier Point, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of Yosemite’s iconic landmarks. Though steep and challenging, the switchback trail is well-maintained and features stunning scenery throughout, including dramatic rock formations and lush forests. Ideal for experienced hikers, this trail is perfect for those seeking a rewarding climb to one of the park’s most famous viewpoints.
