Sentinel Dome Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Location South of The Valley
Transportation Take Glacier Point Rd. to the Sentinel Dome parking lot, about 3 miles from Glacier Point
Other 2.2 miles/2-3 hr. Moderate

Frommer's Review

At the starting point, you'll be able to see Sentinel Dome on your left. The trail descends slightly; at the first fork, bear right. The way winds through manzanita and pine trees before beginning its ascent. It's a steep scramble to the top of Sentinel Dome, and you have to leave the trail on the north (left) side to clamber up. The view from the top offers a 180-degree panorama of Yosemite Valley, one of the most stunning views in a park that's full of them.
