Tunnel View is a stunning vista point in Yosemite National Park, located on Wawona Road (State Route 41). The sweeping view of El Capitan and The Bridal Veil Fall, framed by the mouth of Yosemite Valley, is arguably one of the most iconic views of the park. Hiking trails, picnic areas and a visitor center are available for those who can't get enough of this incredible scenery. Taking photos from here will create an unforgettable memory that you can take home. Whether from the lookout point or the nearby meadow, Tunnel View provides visitors with an amazing experience as they appreciate this gorgeous landscape in all of its glory.

Tip: The parking lot to this vista can fill up quickly and get VERY crowded. We'd highly recommend visiting early in the morning, or later in the evening to avoid the crowds.
