    Tips

    September 20, 2024

    Glacier Point Amphitheater is known for its breathtaking views of the vast Yosemite Valley and surrounding mountains, making it an incredible spot for sunsets, sunrises, and stargazing. At an elevation of 7,214 feet, it provides a peaceful atmosphere, though parking can be challenging due to its remote location. High elevation storms may lead to road closures, so plan accordingly. The amphitheater is wheelchair accessible and can host private events like weddings from Tuesday after Memorial Day through September 30th. It accommodates up to 50 guests.
