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.
