Get ready for an absolutely iconic and visually stunning road biking climb up Glacier Point Road from the Bridalveil Falls Trailhead in Yosemite National Park. As you ascend approximately 16 miles, gaining around 3,200 to 3,300 feet to reach the Glacier Point parking area at 7,200 feet, you'll climb with a consistent average gradient between 3.8% and 5.1%. The scenery is the major reward, offering increasingly breathtaking and unforgettable panoramic views of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and surrounding granite masterpieces as you wind your way up through the park's beautiful forests to the legendary viewpoint. Be prepared for the climb's length, altitude, potential heavy tourist traffic, and note that Glacier Point Road is typically closed due to snow from around November to May or June.
