A breathtaking tour of Yosemite Valley begins at the Four Mile Trail and travels up to the iconic Glacier Point with sweeping views. From there the aptly named Panorama Trail takes you down to the John Muir Trail and the Mist Trail with more stunning vistas and three of Yosemite's stunning waterfalls.
Utilizing Yosemite's shuttle, the entire hike is 13.7mile/22.1km with an exhausting 4,400ft/1,320m of elevation up and down. The rewards, however, far exceed the exertion.
For those looking for for a shorter day with less elevation gain, have a friend drop you off at Glacier Point and travel down either the Four Mile Trail or the Panorama Trail back down to the valley.

I've done the tour of Yosemite hike several times. It's similar to this but I go over Nevada falls down past Emerald Pool and down Vernal Falls. Coming down the JMT is boring and not pretty. Thanks for sharing!

I agree that your way is better! I was hiking to work on my day hike map/guide for Yosemite and knew I'd be coming up the Mist Trail which is preferred to going down it. I was also ready to be done, so I was more interested in the quicker route. :D

The good thing was that I knew that I was fortunate and didn't take any of it for granted. Yosemite's waterfalls are top notch! I'm excited to share some of the footage of the falls heading down to Waterwheel along the Tuolumne River!

Glad Glacier Point Road is closed this year because I'm hiking up there in 3 weeks and I don't expect alot of traffic!

This trail looks epic. I would have to do half dome first then this one along with the yosemite falls summit.

With Half Dome, you can go up the Mist Trail to catch Vernal Fall, Silver Apron, etc as well as hiking up the left side of Nevada Fall. Do the climb, then on your way down, come down the John Muir Trail to cruise on out and get different views.

But I bet it was delicious... if anything because you were starving!

@@hike734 It certainly was, and was the topic of discussion nearing the end of the hike. it was expensive, but good and had leftovers for breakfast.

Where did you park or did you take a shuttle

@hike734 2 жыл бұрын

I parked at the Four Mile Trailhead. At the end of the day, I walked the Valley Loop Trail back to my car, but I could have potentially taken the shuttle, but I didn't want to wait for it. You could always park at the main parking area, then take the shuttle to the trailhead.

How many hours did it take you to complete??

@hike734 2 жыл бұрын

I started at the Four Mile trailhead at 8:15am and was at the Mist Trail trailhead at 6pm. I then walked back to my car instead of hopping on a shuttle. I got back to my car about 45 minutes later.
