Yosemite Valley Pictures: A VirtualTour

By Betsy Malloy, About.com Guide

Our tour leaves Yosemite Valley and heads south toward Mariposa Grove. The first scenic spot you'll pass is Tunnel View which began this gallery.

Accessible only in summer, Glacier Point provides the most dramatic vistas you'll see in Yosemite short of hiking up some of the trails. Standing over 3,000 feet above the valley floor, you'll get a panoramic view of the glacier-carved valleys and an eagle's-eye look at the river below.
