3. See Tunnel View
The scenic viewpoint known as Tunnel View is located on State Route 41 in the park.

Mind you, the dramatic scenery of Tunnel View has been painted or photographed by both international tourists and famous artists from here and the neighboring vantage points as far back as the 1800s. Veteran visitors suggest taking in the view after going to Glacier Point because it’s interesting to see some of the same spots from another perspective.
