Sentinel Bridge is one of the most iconic and easily accessible viewpoints in Yosemite Valley, famous for its stunning, postcard-perfect view of Half Dome reflected in the Merced River. Located near Yosemite Valley Lodge and close to the meadows, it’s an ideal stop for both sunrise and sunset—when soft light paints Half Dome with warm color and the reflection turns glass-like on calm days.

From the bridge, you’ll also catch views of the surrounding granite walls, lush meadows, and peaceful river flow. It’s a popular spot for photographers, especially in fall when golden leaves frame the scene beautifully, and in winter when snow adds a magical touch.

Whether you’re just passing through the valley or chasing the perfect Half Dome shot, Sentinel Bridge is one of those simple yet unforgettable Yosemite views.

Glacier Point offers one of Yosemite’s most breathtaking panoramas, with Half Dome rising boldly across the valley, Vernal and Nevada Falls cascading in the distance, and the vast floor of Yosemite Valley stretching far below. Perched over 7,200 feet high, this viewpoint gives an up-close perspective of the granite giants and sweeping Sierra peaks, making sunrise and sunset especially magical as light paints the landscape in warm tones.

A different perspective of one of Yosemite’s most popular trails -📍 Upper Yosemite Fall Trail

This steep, switchback-packed route takes you from the Valley floor to the brink of one of the tallest waterfalls in North America. The trail winds right next to Upper Yosemite Fall, giving you incredible up-close views of the roaring cascade as you climb. A relentless series of switchbacks carries you higher and higher, opening up sweeping views of Yosemite Valley before the final push brings you to the edge of the Upper Fall - where the water drops nearly half a mile straight down, rewarding every step.

Bridalveil Fall is one of Yosemite National Park’s most iconic waterfalls, easily recognizable for its graceful, veil-like appearance. Dropping 620 feet (189 meters) from a granite cliff, it flows year-round, though it’s most powerful in spring when snowmelt from the high Sierra swells the waterfall. The waterfall got its name because the water, blowing in the wind, looks like a delicate bridal veil.

The trail to the base is short and easy - just about a 0.5-mile walk from the parking area, making it accessible for almost everyone. Visitors often feel the mist on their face in spring and early summer, which adds to the magical experience.
From the base, you get a full view of the fall and the surrounding valley cliffs, and it’s especially beautiful at sunset when the granite cliffs glow. It’s also one of the first waterfalls many people see when entering Yosemite Valley from the south.

Bridalveil Fall is more than just a pretty waterfall - it’s a symbol of Yosemite’s timeless beauty.
