In my last post we left the awe inspiring Glacier Point in
Yosemite National Park and drove into the Wawona Tunnel. Just
after exiting Wawona Tunnel and entering the valley from the
south you will see one of the most famous views of Yosemite
Valley called the Tunnel View. You will see El Capitan and the
Bridalveil Falls on opposite sides of the valley, and Half Dome
in the distance. Enlarge to read this historical look back in
time. As always, all photos can be enlarged by clicking on them
once and then again when they open on a new page. The Bridalveil
Falls is often the first waterfall visitors see when entering
Yosemite Valley. In spring, it is thunderous; during the rest of
the year it has a light, swaying flow. * Please note: the
spelling of "Bridalveil" as one word is not a misspelling -- it
is spelled this way on the National Park Service Yosemite web
site. We hiked to the base of the falls and watched the pretty
formations of water which did at time resemble a gauzy veil, as
you can see in the photo c
