Panorama Trail

I recommend this hike for everyone going to Yosemite. It's the best bang-for-your-buck. You get amazing views of Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and the Mist Trail all in one stunning (long) day hike. I would suggest taking this trail in the opposite direction though- start by going up the 4 Mile Trail to Glacier Point and finish with the mist trail. That way the views keep getting progressively better as you go. Spring is the best time to hike as the falls are spectacular. Pro tip- bring your wallet! Getting a cold drink or ice cream at Glacier Point store is so satisfying after hiking straight up 4 Mile from the valley floor.
