The hike up to Sentinel Dome is relatively easy, especially in comparison to many of the other hikes in Yosemite. It is mostly flat until you get around the dome, and then you climb up. It's just over a mile each way, but not overly strenuous. Even the climb at the end isn't that bad. Once you are up there...
WOAH! The views from the top are astonishing. You can see in EVERY direction. Half Dome, El Capitan, and Nevada Falls... it's all there, along with a ton more. There are some boulders on top that are good for sitting/climbing on for pics. The scenic views are endless.
We did this the day after we did the Nevada Falls loop, which was a strenuous, long hike. This was a bit of work, but not that bad; our tired legs easily handled it, and the views were well worth it. We also visited Glacier Point while in this area, and while that pales in comparison with this, the views were good, and these two tourist attractions combined for a decent amount of the day.
Sentinel Dome is well worth the short hike.

This is my second trip to Yosemite and I was still impressed with the beauty of this location. I could do this ride over and over again.

In Lonley Plant they say that this hike seems like a cheat. You get to such wonderfull Vista point with relatively short trail which is fairly easy. The view is astonishing, you can see the entire valley with it magnificent rock formation. You can also see the Nevada falls. The trail it self is relatively flat and just in the very end You climb to the Dome. We saw several small children doing the trail

Don't miss this hike! It's pretty short but the pay off is amazing. It took us about 30 minutes or so to get to the top where there is a panoramic view. The view is probably better than at Glacier Point and it wasn't crowded. Definitely worth the time. Would be amazing to see the sun set here.

If you can't get a permit to hike Half Dome, or are unwilling or unable to do that extremely strenuous, scary and long hike, but still have a desire to go to the top of a dome in Yosemite, this is a great option. It is really short - only about 2 miles round trip and getting to the top of the dome is not particularly difficult or scary. The 360 degree view you get from the top is absolutely stunning - probably the best ratio of reward vs. effort of any hike you will ever take! If you go early in the morning, like most things in Yosemite, it will not be very crowded. After you have completed this hike, you can continue on to Glacier Point for a much more crowded view but don't feel guilty if you choose not to - even though it is also spectacular it does not come close to matching the view from here. The trail to Taft Point starts at the same trailhead but goes in the opposite direction. While we did not do that due to time constraints, it is apparently also not very long or difficult, so you could consider it if you want to get some more hiking in

We were in Yosemite for 2 full days between our time in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Honestly, I thought this would be the low point of the trip but we enjoyed it just as much or more than the the other legs.
We started out that morning going to Glacier Point, then climbed Sentinel Dome and ended in the Valley. It was an awesome day. The hike from the parking area to the dome was about 30 minutes (I think). Then we went to the top of the dome and took in the full 360 view. It was brilliant. You could see everything up there and if you push yourself to the top you won't regret it.

You'll see what no picture will make justice
It's incredibly beautiful and more, you can't miss this visit
It's just a short hike (45')
Best time of the day the sunset, but make sure to get a flashlight with you, there's no chance to make it back with daylight (obviously) and you'll need some light to find your way back

Beautiful place. Visited in Sept 2020 and they have cones on the "shortcut" route farther up Glacier Point road. Did the loop to Taft Point and would not recommend as it does not follow the edge of the cliff - was not very scenic and was longer than going back to parking lot and then to Taft Point. If I had to do again, would go back to the parking lot.

The views from Sentinel dome are breathtaking. You can see Half Dome and the eastern half of Yosemite Valley on one side, and El Capitan, the Three Brothers, and the western half of Yosemite Valley on the other side.
The hike is relatively easy for anyone who is healthy. It's about 2 miles round trip. My wife made it and she's never hiked up a mountain in her life. The trail winds around the backside of Sentinel Dome and gently ascends to the summit. It is not as steep as it might seem when you look up at it from the approach on the opposite side.
Use caution if it is raining or wet outside, unless you are experienced. The granite stone is smooth and polished and it can get extremely slippery when wet.

Hello! This hike is on the way to glacier point. You will see the signs for sentinel dome there is a small dirt parking lot with a restroom. It is 1 mile to the top of the dome and 1 mile back... So 2 miles total.

Is there transportation from Yosemite Village/Half Dome Village, to Sentinel Dome trail head?
PacificNWFamily
Washington State94.772 đóng góp
No. There is no transportation from anywhere in Yosemite Valley (not Yosemite Village where you'll find the Visitor Center nor Curry Village /HDV where there is lodging) to the Sentinel Dome trailhead. The only transportation option is the fee Glacier Point Tour Bus from Yosemite Valley Lodge to Glacier Point.
For general tourism questions about your time in Yosemite, I highly recommend using the TripAdvisor forum for Yosemite NP.

Hi we are planning to visit yosemite om the 1st of April, can we drive up to the sentinal dome? how can we go here?

Hi
No, you cannot drive up to Sentinel Dome trailhead. Glacier Point Road will still be closed.
For information about enjoying Yosemite and especially Yosemite Valley, I highly recommend asking on the TripAdvisor Yosemite National Park forum page. There will be plenty to do in Yosemite Valley and elsewhere in the Park when the high country roads are still closed for the winter.

Is there any way to get to Sentinel Dome from Yosemite Village on public transport?

There's a shuttle from Yosemite Village up to Glacier Point that will drop you off. There's a fee and you can book tickets ahead, I believe, from either Curry Village (Half Dome village as they call it now) or Yosemite Lodge, where the shuttle starts from.
Hi,
Can we do the trail with a 3 year old?

Yes, but you might be carrying her for some of the way, and need to hold her hand at the steeper parts. Good views without having to go up the very last steeper dome part. Need hats and sunscreen too, plus water.

Hi Everyone. The internet shows the Glacier Point Road closed at Badger Pass and yet I see recent posts from visitors who describe hiking to Sentinel Dome and Taft Point. How are they doing that . . . I thought the area was inaccessible due to snow. Thanks for your help. Richard

Hi
Recently posted reviews are showing travel dates from last fall. The only folks who have visited Sentinel Dome recently are on skis or snowshoes. And now that Badger Pass has closed for the season, no one will be allowed up Glacier Point Road during the plowing and repairs. So there shouldn't be current experiences on Sentinel Dome.

Hi Helen,
How long took you hiking from Glacier point to sentinel dome then to Taft point?

Hi
I assume that you want to end at the Sentinel Dome parking lot / shuttle stop.
It's about 1.5 miles from Glacier Point up to the top of Sentinel Dome. Then the loop down the dome, around, and then west to Taft Point is just over 2 miles. Then it's 1.1 miles to the Sentinel Dome Trailhead parking lot. How fast do you walk at high elevation? Are you doing this hike after the snow has melted?
I suggest doing this hike in the reverse direction so that you're walking eastbound on Pohono Trail from Taft Point to Sentinel Dome.
More information and conversations about Yosemite are on the Yosemite forum page.

What tips does anyone have for seeing the most wildlife possible? Any safety tips should we see bears? We'll be in Yosemite at the very beginning of June and will have 3 full days there. Also, any ideas about what equipment we should we take for the walks would be helpful - water carriers etc.
Thank you!

Please post your excellent questions on the Yosemite National Park forum page. This is a seldom viewed Q&A feature for one single hike / attraction in the park.
The Top Questions on the right side of the Yosemite forum has topics about enjoying Yosemite Valley, enjoying attractions along Glacier Point Road (including Sentinel Dome), and what to do if you see a bear.

Is this the hike for us: husband with a heart that won't let him walk fast or more than 2 miles. Young adult children in their 20's that are in excellent shape. What trail can accommodate both level of hikers?

Park at the shortcut parking. The best views are from the dome but you can see okay views from the base. It's about 3/4 mile from the shortcut.
The Top Questions on the Yosemite forum has a topic about Glacier Point attractions including Sentinel Dome. The location of shortcut parking is in that article.
