Dewey Point — Local services in Oakhurst

This is almost the halfway point between Tunnel view and Glacier point and is in my opinion the climax of an eyegasm. Nature at its absolute best. If you can make it here then you will most likely be all alone with the exception of the company you traveled here with and for a brief cherishable moment in your existence all of life’s problems and BS temporarily slip away as you take in and try to comprehend and bathe in the picture that stands before you.

Quite a hike from McGurks meadow trail head on Glacier point road - about 4 miles. As an unfit 60 yr old, I found the incline after the meadow tough as it is uneven and mostly stream bed type trails. A bit wet in places and three flowing streams to cross (in June). But well worth the view/vista once you reach Dewey point. The meadows are teaming with small wildlife. I saw a Weasel capture a meadow Mouse. Plants and flowers at this time of year were in abundance. It took me 2.5 hours to reach the point, and just over 2 hours returning. Younger and fitter will fare better, depending on conditions. Not a highly populated trail, I only saw about 15 - 20 people, there and...
