This is one of the most iconic views in Yosemite National Park. It can get extremely crowded depending on which day you come, what the weather is and what time of day it is. I've been here in absolutely every weather possible. If you're here during weather like the attached pictures, you'll probably have the place to yourself though most of the view will be fogged out.
I came this day since it was right at the forecast snow level and I wanted to see the snowfall as the cliffs were clouded out. I've been here in every weather and wanted to see the view fogged over, since it's a different feeling looking out into a sea of fog. If you come on a weekend at sunset when the weather is clearer, it's going to be significantly more crowded and parking can get hard.
Either way, it's a beautiful spot with beautiful views of El Capitan rising up on the left and Cathedral Rocks rising up on the right as Bridalveil Fall flows over the cliffs. Day or night, the views here are incredible. It's definitely a spot to stop at if you visit Yosemite, especially if you only have one day here.
Tunnel View and Valley View down below on Northside Drive are easily two of my favorite views in the park, and both are must see viewpoints.
There's a really cool bronze sculpture here of the valley, which you can probably tell by my attached photos I'm rather fascinated with. It's definitely cool to spend some time looking at it and comparing it against the actual view you see...
