Backpacking The Pohono Trail in Yosemite (4 days)

This 4-day backpacking loop in Yosemite National Park is an unique experience and one of the best trails with view point in the park. It starts at Four Mile Trail, passing by Glacier Point, Taft Point, Dewey Point, Crocker Point, Stanford Point, Inspiration Point and finishes in Yosemite Valley. All this points are a few of the most unique views in Yosemite Valley. Including my personal favorite view Crocker Point.

About this Hike

This is one of my favorites backpacking loops in Yosemite National Park. This hike passes by 6 of the most iconic view points in Yosemite: Glacier Point, Taft Point, Dewey Point, Crocker Point, Stanford Point, Inspiration Point. While I did it as a backpacking trip, it is possible to do it on a day hike but it won't be the same experience as backpacking it. Having the experience to wild camp at this spots is absolutely unique and something you will never forget. You can do it at your own pace, adding or taking days. A common way to do it, is starting for Glacier Point, which it would skip the 4 mile trail since it is the toughest part of this hike.
