Glacier Point

Description

Glacier Point ist ein Aussichtspunkt oberhalb des Yosemite Valley, in Kalifornien, USA. Er liegt an der Südseite des Tales in einer Höhe von 2200 m über Normalnull und knapp 1000 m oberhalb von Curry Village. Von hier hat man eine überwältigende Aussicht über den Yosemite National Park und das Yosemite Valley, inklusive Yosemite Falls, Half Dome, Vernal Fall, Nevada Fall, und Clouds Rest.
Die Spitze des Felsvorsprungs ist vollkommen geröllfrei, aber die Hänge darunter und der Talkessel in westlicher Richtung sind mit Moränen gefüllt, genauso wie die bewaldeten Abhänge darüber. Der Ursprung als Gletschergeröll ist gesichert, weil diese Gesteine aus dem Little Yosemite Valley und der High Sierra stammen.
