For generations, people have come to Glacier Point to see one of the most spectacular views on earth and a panoramic vista of Yosemite Valley. A trail to Glacier Point lies one-quarter mile away and passes the Geology Hut exhibit on glaciations and landforms, along with interpretive exhibits highlighting Half Dome, waterfalls, and views of the High Sierra. The Four Mile Trail is 4.6 miles long, descends 3,200 feet, takes 2-3 hours to walk, and leads by steep switchbacks down into Yosemite Valley near Yosemite Lodge. The Panorama Trail is 8.5 miles long, descends 3,200 feet with an uphill segment, takes 4-6 hours to walk, joins the Vernal-Nevada Falls trails, and continues down to Happy Isles. The Pohono Trail is 13 miles long, descends 2,800 feet, takes 7-9 hours to walk, and ends at the Wawona Tunnel.
