Yosemite Valley itself is far younger than it first appears. Geologists now put the start of the valley's carving at roughly 5 to 10 million years ago, when ancestral river systems began cutting narrow canyons into the granite beneath the Sierra Nevada; glaciers arrived much more recently, around 2.5 million years ago, and repeated Ice Age advances widened and deepened those canyons into the broad, U-shaped valley seen today. A 2022 University of California, Berkeley dating study actually revised the valley's age downward by tens of millions of years from older estimates. Glacier Point, on the valley's south rim, is one of the places where that glacial history is easiest to spot — the rock debris scattered below and around the point was carried there by ice that once flowed out of Little Yosemite Valley.
From Glacier Point's overlook, at roughly 7,200 feet of elevation and about 3,200 feet above the valley floor, the sightlines reach across Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Vernal and Nevada Falls, and Clouds Rest in a single sweep. For nearly a century, from 1872 to 1968, it was also the launch point for the Yosemite Firefall, a nightly spectacle in which embers from a bonfire were pushed over the cliff's edge after dark to cascade down the granite face; the National Park Service ended the tradition in 1968 over its impact on the park's natural character and the crowds it drew. Because the road up to Glacier Point closes with the first heavy snow — typically sometime between late October and mid-November, reopening in late May or early June — this particular stop depends on the season.
The grove this tour reaches, Tuolumne Grove near Crane Flat, is a real, much smaller stand of giant sequoias than Yosemite's better-known Mariposa Grove near the park's south entrance, and it's worth being clear about the difference since the two are easy to mix up. Tuolumne Grove holds roughly two dozen mature sequoias across about 20 acres, first recorded by a small party from the mining camp of Garrote in 1858. Its best-known tree isn't a living giant but the Dead Giant, a sequoia killed by fire long ago and then famously tunneled through in 1878 so a wagon road could pass straight through its base — one of the park's earliest tunnel trees, and still a popular stop along the grove's walking trail today.
Bridalveil Fall, the other real stop on this tour, drops about 620 feet from a hanging valley on the south wall and is one of the few Yosemite waterfalls that almost never runs completely dry, thanks to a basin of lakes and marshes upstream that keeps feeding it groundwater. It's still seasonal at heart, though: flow peaks with spring snowmelt around May, and by late summer it can thin to little more than a mist drifting over hikers at its base, so the full roaring curtain of water seen in photographs isn't a year-round guarantee.
