The turnout at Valley View, which is just below the tunnel on the way to Wawona is one of Yosemite's most-photographed vista points, with Bridaveil Falls, El Capitan and Half Dome all visible. Look closely at the view on this morning after a snowstorm and you'll notice that Bridalveil Falls on the right. That's not liquid water, it's ice.
