    Hiking

    Taft Point is a viewpoint in Yosemite National Park, west of Glacier Point. It offers wide views of Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, and El Capitan. The main attraction of Taft Point are the giant fissures in the mile high granite rock that continue directly down to the valley floor at some points. Taft Point is more dangerous than Glacier Point, because only the last fissure has a railing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft_Point
