Much of the literature about Yosemite National Park refers to the Tunnel View overlook as a “must see” stop for any visitor. This vantage point is held in such reverence by those who have visited the park and have written about it, that it becomes a figurative “do or die” goal for many.
Considering the popularity of Tunnel View and the number of people who are drawn to it, it has a limited parking area the geography being what it is. There are actually two areas; an upper and a lower. If you have patience, you can wait for a spot to open. If you have two or more people in your group, you can take turns behind the wheel while the others stop to visit the overlook and capture some memorable photos.
The vista is certainly a beauty. At the time we took the above picture, it was nearing the “golden hour” for photography and the colors were delightful.
