Tunnel View

Tunnel View, within Yosemite National Park, is a viewpoint on State Route 41 located directly east of the Wawona Tunnel as one enters Yosemite Valley from the South. The view looks east into Yosemite Valley including the southwest face of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. This is, to many, the first view of the popular attractions in Yosemite. Many drivers stop just outside the tunnel to take pictures and absorb the visual esthetics.
