Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park, USA

Finally. I've wanted to do this ride for years. Starting at Yosemite Valley, it's 32-miles up to Glacier Point. And then it's a 32-mile descent back.

I only had my camera phone, so the resolution of the photos isn't terrific.

Tunnel View on Route 41. El Capitan on the left. Clouds Rest and Half Dome in the distance. Cathedral Rocks on the right above Bridalveil Falls. The flat part in the center is Yosemite Valley.


Half Dome (from Glacier Point Road). Yes, those are rain clouds in the distance. Luckily, I encountered only passing rain showers, only a few minutes of steady rain. At least it wasn't snow. No joke, Glacier Point is at 7200ft elevation, and there was still snow along the road.

The view from Glacier Point looking into Yosemite Valley.

And the view from my chair back at the lodge... That ain't a cappuccino in the mug. This coffee mug doubled as a beer mug.

Ride safely and happy trails.
