Know Before You Go:
- Be prepared for crowds, this is one of the most popular hikes in the park. 
- A great spot for sunset views and some of the best views of Yosemite Valley. 
- We recommend doing the loop counter-clockwise and hitting Taft Point last. 
- This trailhead is only accessible when Glacier Point Road is open. At all other times the only way to access these viewpoints is via The Pohono Trail.
