Guide to Yosemite National Park

"I recommend watching the sunset at Glacier Point — a 15-mile uphill drive that gains about 7,000 feet — because it’s easily accessible for wheelchairs and walkers, offers a view straight down nearly 3,000 feet into Yosemite Valley, and delivers a prismatic twilight experience if you stay at least 30 minutes after official sunset." - Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis is a New York City-based writer and editor with more than a decade of content strategy experience.
