When you plan a visit to Yosemite National Park, you should make a list of areas to visit. That should include those areas with views over Yosemite Valley so be prepared to walk up some hills to gain in elevation. Then there are the national park’s three waterfalls and Half Dome to check out too. There are some great views to be had from just south of Glacier Point at Washburn Point and you should be able to see Nevada and Vernal Falls a bit easier.
