Glacier Point is an
outcropping of rocks sitting high atop the southern wall of Yosemite Valley
right where the Merced river turns westward to head out of the park. The
signs posted (aa040461a, 62a, 69) in the area indicate that we were at an
altitude of 7,200 feet. From this point, which actually stretches one quarter
of a mile inland from the cliff, one can see nearly everything in the eastern
half of the park (aa040478 - 482)--an angle of view spanning nearly 270
degrees! There wasn't much activity to be had here; we simply ran around
snapping pictures of practically everything in sight.
