Sunset over Yosemite

Landscape Photography

Washburn Point and Glacier Point are renowned overlooks along Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park. These vantage points offer breathtaking views of the eastern crest of the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite Valley, and iconic landmarks such as Half Dome and the majestic waterfalls including Yosemite Falls, Vernal Falls, and Nevada Falls. Accessible by car only from late May through October or November, these overlooks provide an unparalleled perspective of the park's natural beauty. This particular photo, taken from Glacier Point at sunset, captures Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls, and the distant Sierra Nevada peaks bathed in the last rays of sunlight, making for a truly memorable experience.
