The views from Yosemite Point are simply stunning; there's no other way to describe it. You can also hike to the top of Yosemite Falls if you backtrack a short distance from here and bear left when the trail forks. However, you may want a map for that portion of trail, or at least plenty of time to navigate it, as it's not very clear.
