Tunnel View is one of the most iconic views in Yosemite and easily accessible by car. Yosemite Falls is the tallest waterfall in North America and we recommend seeing it from the Swinging Bridge or hiking to Upper Yosemite Falls.

[T]he far-famed valley came suddenly into view throughout almost its whole extent: the noble walls, sculptured into endless variety of domes and gables, spires and battlements and plain mural precipices, all a-tremble with the thunder tones of the falling water.

The most famous viewpoint is at Olmsted Point, from where you can peer down into Yosemite Valley and get a unique perspective on iconic Half Dome. You can see the view right from the road's overlook, or for a more glorious view as shown above, hike the shortest trail in Yosemite (0.2 miles).

Valley View is a remarkable spot to soak in some of Yosemite Valley's unbelievably scenic charm. Although glaciers ended their work carving out Yosemite Valley over 14,000 years ago, the Merced River continues to shape this valley, making Yosemite a very dynamic place.

To find Valley View, drive west on Northside Drive (the only way to exit Yosemite Valley); about 3/4 of a mile beyond the Bridalveil Fall view (not to be confused with the Bridalveil Creek viewpoint described earlier), look on your left for a paved parking area with a dozen or so diagonal parking spaces; pull into an open space and the view is.
