It is iconic, and you will not be disappointed when you see it. I would recommend going at sunrise or sunset to watch the light come up or descend on the valley and some of its prominent features. It is easy to get good photos though, since there is a large rock wall and a direct view of the valley from there. Most people don’t spend too long here, so there is pretty much always a constant flow of people coming and going. This is the famous spot that everyone takes photos at and has excellent views of Half Dome, El Capitan, and Bridalveil Fall. If you are coming from another entrance, you will head towards Bridalveil Fall and see signs that will lead you out of the park towards Fresno and Glacier Point, and when you reach the top of the hill, you will see Tunnel View.Īfter parking, you can make your way to the main overlook (which is where all the people will be). There are parking lots on both sides of the road, but it is one of the most popular spots in the park, so it can be hard to find parking. As you drive on State Route 41, you will pass through Wawona Tunnel and then see Tunnel View right as you exit. Lots of well-known landmarks are visible here, including, from left to right, El Capitan. Tunnel View is about 45 minutes from the park’s southern entrance. The Tunnel View is probably Yosemites most famous vista.

Parking is limited during busy summer weekends.

Only drive past it when entering from the south (but you can backtrack to see it from other entrances).

I have been countless times, and here is all the information on this epic viewpoint. This iconic viewpoint was created in 1933, and since then, it has been the spot that welcomes visitors to the park when they arrive at the valley from the south entrance. It is known all over the world and has inspired thousands of artists over the last century. Tunnel View in Yosemite National Park is one of, if not the best view in California.
