Great start to a trip in Yosemite; hike also included Taft Point and a drive to Glacier Point. I object to the main page, though, as I'm sure it has enough prominence to qualify as a mountain by some definitions.

Sentinel via 4-mile trail
Climbed via the 4-mile trail with a team of ten. Visited Glacier Point first then hiked up to Sentinel Dome. A beautiful place to take in the sights. Continued down the Panoramic trail and back to base camp (Upper Pines).

2x
First trip was my first go at snow camping, and backpacking in the winter, and first time cross country skiing! Spent two nights camped halfway to Glacier Point, and went to the dome and the point on day two (January 25, 2003). Great weather but we had way too much crap with us, and the nights were so long. But definitely a great way to spend a Super Bowl weekend. Splendid time to go!
Second trip was a quick hike after Illilouette Ridge and Ostrander Rocks in June 2012 straight up the southeast side.

1.9 miles round trip, summit is at 8143 feet by Garmin GPS. Fantastic views of the Yosmeite Valley for a trivial investment in sweat!

Beautiful views the whole way up.

Loop with Taft Point
Nice panoramic view though the haze cut down on that substantially getting late into the day. There were plenty of people along to share the very large summit.

First summit for step-daughters
Maybe the best views in Yosemite. An easy 2 mile jaunt from Glacier Point road.
Party included Zarathustraswife Lynda, daughter Alexa (18) and step-daughters Haley (8) and Heather (6). This was the first summit for Haley and Heather - who generally have to be bribed or dragged to walk a mile in the neighborhood. They were really good sports on this hike though!

Easy and rewarding!
My husband and I hiked this with our girls, 6, 8 and 18. The views were amazing for such a short easy hike.

Detour on ski trip
Cross country skiing to Glacier Point when we decided to take this detour. Easy boot kick up the snow slope for grand views.

the long way
I'm a little embarrassed to say I'd never realized this dome was here, out of sight from the Valley. Walked to the top while in transit along the spectacular south-rim hike from Wawona Tunnel to Glacier Point and back down 4-mile trail. Big storm day, horizontal snow on the summit. Curious what routes have been put up on the attractive north face of the dome.

Wow.. There actually is a log for Sentinel Dome. :P
Unbeatable view from the top - it completes the scene from Glacier Pt but minus the crowds.

Standard RouteAfter winter's rest, the Glacier Point Road open again for the season, it's back to work for the 'ol rock. And on this day, they came. And came.
