Rhett, It is spectacular!
And for a shorter hike do the same sort of trip only along the South Rim instead (Pohono Trail). See "Yosemitee National Park" book by Jeffrey Shaffer for both hikes. The South rim hike is even more deserted and solitary but less spectacular scenery. See another group of hikers every hour on N rim, every half day on south rim (non weekends).
