Panorama Trail

The first tier of the Merced River’s magnificent waterfall plunges from a jagged granite precipice in a cloud-like curtain and is surrounded by pines.

Witness a superb panorama of the Yosemite Valley from this viewing point and spot soaring canyons, plunging falls and granite cliffs along the rugged valley skyline.

Experience a surge of amazement when you visit this lookout that offers views of significant portions of this famous park.

Make your way up an immense natural staircase to reach the powerful plumes of this magnificent waterfall and enjoy views of the gleaming water-streaked granite.

Explore a jewel of a lake located between North Dome and Half Dome. It is the final remnant of an ancient glacial lake that once covered Yosemite.

Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Sentinel Dome during your travels in Yosemite National Park. Stroll along the riverfront or seek out the hiking trails.
