Tunnel View in Yosemite National Park

Plenty of opportunities to take photos although can be pretty busy. Do not avoid it purely due to the crowds though. It is spectacular and not to be missed. Everyone who enters the park makes this stop. A view of the valley that highlights all the major attractions. Take your time here as it is crowded and popular.

It is no wonder it is one of the most photographed spots on earth. Amazing. Definitely need to get your own picture. Evening is better because the sun shines down the valley and your picture won’t be backlit. This place has got to have one of the best views in Yosemite without having to hike. This is also the place where most people camp out for the most breathtaking sunset photo.

Drive through the longest tunnel in California, and exit with a breathtaking view of Yosemite Valley. This is the tunnel view, one of the iconic attractions of Yosemite. The tunnel itself is pretty long, slow down as you are getting to the end of the tunnel or you might miss the parking lot where you can park and enjoy the view.

If you are looking for a great place to stay, then book your stay at our Yosemite Westgate Lodge in Groveland and make your trip more special. If you’re in or around Yosemite Valley and want a refreshing break, Calaveras big trees state park is the best place to visit.
