Sunset is the best time to get pictures. Pretty waterfall. It is great driving through the mile long tunnel and then seeing the valley. More

It is a parking lot on road connecting Yosemite Valley with south side of the park and it is a very short drive from the village. Valley is of the east so the best time for pictures are in the evening but I am sure that sun rise could be spectacular as well ( I did not try it :). More

Tunnel View is a "must see" option in Yosemite.. The viewing is spectacular and as it is merely a turn off to the parking and viewing area there is no excuse for missing it... You'll love the experience! More

It's worth the detour to stop at this viewing point. You can see three of Yosemites most famous sites at one time. Yosemite is magnificent. More

This is where the view of Yosemite Valley with El Capitan on the left, Half Dome in the center distance and Bridalvail Falls on the right is located. The parking area is just at the Valley end of the long tunnel on the Wawona Road. The view is at the edge of the parking lot. Definitely worth a stop. More
