Artist Point Hike Yosemite. A quick stop at washburn point is a must as well. It is possible to hike one way from glacier point down to yosemite valley.

The trail to inspiration point resumes on the opposite side of the old road. From yosemite valley you can hike 4.8 miles up to glacier point on four mile trail. Simply a short hike away from the parking area and you leave the crowds behind, get a sample of yosemite’s famous trails, and then arrive at artist point, with incredible views of the yosemite valley.

This is a spectacular hike in the grand canyon of the yellowstone.

A short (2 miles round trip) hike to a viewpoint similar to the tunnel view but without the crowds. Inspiration point, artist point, and the old wawona road we had big plans for hiking in yosemite (on the order of twenty miles or so ), but the summer heat defeated those plans. The hike is 0.2 miles round trip with 50 feet of elevation change. In total, this hike took three hours which included our long break at the destination and a decidedly leisurely pace.
