Yosemite Valley View

We booked the Deluxe Room in advance via Expedia. It took us only a few minutes to get to the entry and it was a nice road to Yosemite Valley. The area is really big with different buidlings and many many rooms. We stayed at the weekend in October and it was still easy to find a parking lot close to the building that we stayed in. The property was always clean. The room was very big with a kitchen inside and we had a great view/riverside. Generally it was also quiet in the evening and morning. We havnt booked any breakfast here. You can do your own breakfast in the kitchen and there is also a Little supermarket at the reception (a bit more extensive than a regular supermarket). There was also a Pizza Store on the property which I cannot recommend (expensive and no good quality). I can recommend to go to Mariposa by car and have some dinner there. You have to ways to get to the Lodge. when you come from the West/ mariposa, you do not pass any entry. But if you take the Road comming from the north (super views) you already pass an entry gate before you get to the Lodge. Why only 4 Stars? - the Room was clean generally but the bathroom was old and very mildewed - Chairs would be a better choice than armchairs. They are worn out and we were not able to eat properly on the table - smart tv would be great

One of the most beautiful views in Yosemite is just right off the road. There’s not much parking but many people miss this spot or are here only for a few minutes. You definitely can’t miss this place. Plus the fog in the evening in early winter is such a stunning sight.

Definitely a must see spot and it doesn't take very long! It's not as iconic as Tunnel View, but it's still a beautiful view. You can easily miss this spot if you are not paying attention to the road as it's just an unassuming parking lot on your left side. Parking is fairly easy to find. It's a good spot to sit down for a bit and enjoy the valley. You can dip your feet in the cool water and have a small snack as you stare at Yosemite Valley. Be sure to move around the wooded areas so you can get interesting views. You may end up passing this spot a couple of times, so stop and enjoy the view under different lighting conditions.

This is the best spot to experience the grandeur of nature. This is one of the most beautiful places to see Yosemite. The parking lot is a little hard to find, so drive carefully. Don't miss it.

About and hour inside Yosemite. Great open air tram tour. You see El Capitan, half dome, Brideviels Falls and the "Valley". Well worth the price ($45/person).

A good place take photos waiting for the sunrise in Yosemite valley.Not busy and wait after 15 minutes delay the forecast due to the sunrise need climb the mountains and light the valley.

It is a spot you may easily ignore when driving from a famous spot to another. Luckily we did stop! It is splendid! One of the best view we had in the park!

Beautiful scenery with the different colours of Yosemite National Park.
