Read on here that sunrise is the best time to visit. I guess must be contingent on weather conditions. Got there an hour before sunrise until and 1 1/2 hours after and was honestly underwhelmed. I gu… Full review by Kentwoolgar

I read somewhere here to take some time not taking pictures and just take it all in. This is so true. This viewpoint is amazing. We stopped here three times during our 5 day trip to Yosemite. The bes… Full review by psmithpalliser

Try not to miss the parking lot if your going in or out of the tunnel. Parking is scarce but people don’t stay long. Go for different angles along the wall for the best pictures but take a moment wit… Full review by NoboatsMagen
We have decided to rent bikes inside the park on June 10 since the shuttles aren’t running. Which bike path is the best to see most views and best path to park the bikes and hike a bit? 3 adults with a 16 and a 10 year old. It’s a bit overwhelming without shuttles to know where to park and walk.

We didn't rent bikes but I read that there are several places for that. We saw the most bikes near the Yosemite Lodge and the valley loop trail takes you to the most sites with the least …
We didn't rent bikes but I read that there are several places for that. We saw the most bikes near the Yosemite Lodge and the valley loop trail takes you to the most sites with the least grade difficulty. You'll be at the base of bridal vail falls, Yosemite falls, El Capitan, with short easy bikes to the base of all these sites.
I am wondering if I can get to Tunnel view without a day use entry reservation ticket? Hoping to still be able to see some of the park even if I can't get a reservation

No. To see any of the Park you actually need to go into the Park. Tunnel View is just above Yosemite Valley and several miles inside the National Park boundary. You can make a reservation for the fee YARTS bus to travel into the Park without a Day Use Entry permit. But it does not go up to Tunnel View. The bus just goes to Yosemite Valley.
I’m visiting Yosemite on Sunday June 29, I plan on arriving around 8/8:30am...is traffic backed up throughout the park at the end of June or is it worse in July/August?
If you're traveling south through Yosemite, is there a way to see the Tunnel View? It's been so long since I last visited I can't remember the drive at all.
A:
Not quite sure what you mean. You can get to the Tunnel View from the valley regardless of the entry road that you take.
We are planing on traveling with a 4 years old and a 1.5 years old (with a carrier) , what trails in Yosemite are Suitable for little kids ?

Download the map and brochure, I recall 4-5 easy trails. I don’t have it handy, but I went on 4 trails of easy flat walking to moderate uphill elevations either with a lot of steps or …
Download the map and brochure, I recall 4-5 easy trails. I don’t have it handy, but I went on 4 trails of easy flat walking to moderate uphill elevations either with a lot of steps or decent gravel paths. There are also some paved bike paths and the park has a shuttle bus to get you around. You can also drive to some vistas and trailheads. But we used the shuttle. There is also a 2 hour tour by a ranger that’s interesting but may be too boring for youngsters.
