Valley View Yosemite is by far the most popular view in Yosemite National Park. It's also known as Gates of the Valley. Valley View is my favorite spot in all of Yosemite. I could sit here for hours and watch the light change. As you leave Yosemite Valley, it's a roadside pullout you don't want to miss. Here you'll see of the Merced River flanked by monolith of El Capitan on the left and on the right the majestic Cathedral Rocks with Bridalveil Fall.
This morning I met up with a friend to shoot Valley View for sunrise. There weren’t that many clouds so I thought we’d get skunked and then for a brief moment the sky lite up in the most amazing colors I'll never forget.
