Taft Point and Sentinel Dome Loop

The Taft Point and Sentinel Dome Loop is a breathtaking hike in Yosemite National Park, combining two iconic viewpoints into one rewarding trail. This 5.1-mile loop offers spectacular vistas of Yosemite Valley, El Capitan, and the High Sierra. Starting from the Sentinel Dome/Taft Point trailhead, the route first ascends Sentinel Dome, providing 360-degree views from its granite summit. Continuing on, the trail leads to Taft Point, where dramatic cliff edges and the famous fissures create stunning photo opportunities. The relatively moderate terrain makes this loop accessible for most hikers, with a mix of forested trails and open granite landscapes. Perfect for a sunrise or sunset adventure, this hike is a must-do for anyone looking to experience Yosemite’s grandeur with fewer crowds.
