Crocker Point
About
Crocker Point is a summit of 7,094 feet in Yosemite National Park, within the Yosemite Wilderness, about 5 miles from the town of Foresta, California. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 75°F with lows near 60°F and only about one wet day a month. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. The closest neighbors are the #18 Dewey Point Meadow Trail and the Widow's Tears climbing area, both about half a mile away, and the Valley Loop Trail about a mile off. Bridalveil Creek Campground, roughly 3.6 miles away, is the nearest place to camp.
