Yosemite Hikes masthead (Pothole Dome)

Glacier Point at Dawn

Glacier Point, it turns out, is generally more scenic at sunset than at sunrise. The glorious sunlight that makes the High Sierra peaks glow at sunset wastes its mornings lighting up the range's eastern slope, which faces entirely the wrong direction. Glacier Point is considerably less crowded at dawn, though.
