The dome itself isn’t that great. Once upon a time there used to be a Jeffrey Pine on top of the peak but only until 2003. But the view is unbeatable – a 360 degree panorama with all of Yosemite Park spread out below you. One can see Half Dome, El Capitan, Yosemite Waterfalls, North Dome, Basket Dome, and the magnificent Sierra Nevada in the distance when the weather is clear. And thanks to this raised vista, the place draws another unusual tourist – the stargazer. It’s a 4 kilometers round trip at the most to the Sentinel Dome and the hiking is relatively easy. Yosemite National Park also has some great camping options. Things to do when you’re there: look west, look east, look at Yosemite Firefalls, and take a picture with the Fallen Jeffrey Pine.
