Glacier POINT LOCATION AND HIKING INFO
The great thing about Glacier Point is that it's extremely accessible. There's no hike required to get to the location, you can drive right up to it!
However, if you are looking to do some hiking on your wedding day there are trails that depart from Glacier Point. You can also choose to do the 4 mile trail to hike to Glacier Point from Yosemite Valley, which is an extremely difficult hike!
