The Panorama Trail in Yosemite National Park is a popular, stunning 8.5-mile hike, showcasing some of the park's most spectacular scenery. Most start at Glacier Point, which offers iconic views of Half Dome and the Clark Range, and descend to the Valley Floor. The trail passes through diverse landscapes, including Ilillouette Creek with its waterfalls and birdlife, and the Panorama Cliffs. Along the way, you'll see Yosemite Falls, North America's tallest waterfall, and the dramatic Nevada Fall. The hike ends on the famous Mist Trail, descending past Vernal Fall along the Merced River. Allow 4-6 hours for the hike, and consider taking the Glacier Point Tour bus for a one-way journey. This is a truly amazing hike that is almost like a tour-de-Yosemite!
