The 2.5-mile hike to Taft Point Overlook and the Fissures offers a lot of incredible scenery away from the crowds, all for a small effort. After hiking through lush forest, you arrive at the fissures; massive gashes cut into the granite cliffs. And from there, itâs a short walk to Taft Point, which offers sweeping views into the Yosemite Valley. The hike is downhill to Taft Point, and then has a mild uphill back to the start on Glacier Point Road. Do yourself a favor, get away from the crowds along the road and enjoy the pristine wilderness on this hike. You wonât be disappointed.

Have seen your'e other videos- all very helpful via the narration and where the camera shows the important features. I like them because they tell the watcher the info needed for navigating and is not just an "oh wow" synopsis of the trail and its destination. For other watchers, check out the North Dome one!
doing this and the sentinel dome tomorrow, thank you so much for the guide, it helps us a lot to know what to expect and to watch out for those cracks or fissures. More power to you.
Very helpful!
This is a great hike. Iâve done this one thanks for showing it to help me reminisce on it
You're welcome, and yea, this hike and Sentinel Dome offer a lot of bang for the buck. Great scenery away from crazy crowds.
Can you do both Taft Point and Sentinel Dome without going back to the start of the trailhead? Looks like possibly the Pohono Trail could connect? Any advice?
Yup they're connected
If doing Taft and Sentinel Dome as a loop in the morning, which should we go to first? Thanks! I appreciate all your informational videos!!
Awesome, glad the guides are helpfulđ I'd so Sentinel first if you're early. It gets the most crowds so doing it before it's mobbed is nicer. Taft can still get busy but not as bad as Sentinel.
Heading to Yosemite at the end of the month. Will check this hike out. Are you posting anymore Yosemite videos?
Nice, yea, have about 5-6 that I'm getting up within the next week or two! It's great up there without the crowds.
Is it fairly easy to park at Glacier point and hike to Taft and sentinel going back to glacier?
Yup
What watch do you use?
Right now Garmin Fenix 6x Pro Solar >>> hikingguy.com/hiking-gear/garmin-fenix-6x-pro-solar-in-depth-review/
Is it allowed to camp there overnight?
Nope - here's the rule > "You must camp at least four trail miles from Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point, Hetch Hetchy, and Wawona, and at least one air mile from any road. "
