Taft Point Sentinel Dome Loop Hike – Moderate

Sentinel Dome, Taft Point Loop Hike: On this dazzling hike, after a quick scramble to the top of Sentinel Dome, you will be rewarded with a spectacular 360-degree view of Yosemite National Park. From Sentinel Dome, our guide will take an interpretive hike to the stunning Yosemite Valley Views from Taft Point. Taft Point has unique geological features such as fissures (fractures in the granite) and a heart-pounding lookout point on the cliff’s edge. This once-in-a-lifetime 4.9-mile (3 -4 hour) hike will leave you spellbound and ready for a good night’s rest.

We can extend this excursion by stopping at the world-famous Glacier Point before the beginning of the Sentinel Dome Taft Point loop hike.
