The tunnel view is not to be missed. We went through the tunnel 5 times in a four day span, what does that tell you? It is NOT to be missed. Driving up to the tunnel, you see the falls in a distance, but once you come out of the tunnel, you are greeted with this beautiful view of the... More

One of the best views of Yosemite, we enter Yosemite from the south, It's located right after the tunnel ends on Hwy 41 .Don't miss it.

El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Valley, Bridalveil Falls all in one scenic viewpoint! Wow! Make sure you stop at different times of the day i.e. morning and afternoon when entering and exiting the park perhaps. The difference in lighting and shadows gives one yet another view to photograph and enjoy.

There are parking lots on both sides of the road right as you come out of the tunnel into Yosemite Valley. Immediately in front of you as you look East is El Capitan. To the right you will see your first view of Bridalveil Falls. Take photos every time you go either way through the tunnel the view is always... More

Just as you come out of the tunnel, the whole Yosemite valley opens before you, there are two parking lots, one immediately on the left and one around the corner on the right that you can't see until you go around the corner. I can imagine this place is Packed in the summer, with a wait for parking. You might... More

View from the tunnel is breathtaking. This is also a good place to go for star gazing with a telescope as the traffice from/to the tunnel is minimal at night.

And so unexpected, travelling by coach through a tunnel in the mountains, to be greeted by this spectacular view was outstanding, Mother Nature at her best.
