This perfectly positioned bend in the road offers an incredible and unique view of the face and back side of Yosemite’s Half Dome. At the right time, you’ll be able to capture the sun rising behind it!

The featured image was taken on Glacier Point Rd. Turn off Wawona Rd onto Glacier Point Rd. Before you arrive at the Glacier Point parking lot you’ll encounter this final bend in the road (reference the GPS coordinate). A bit before the curve there is a pull off where you can park legally. You can also walk from the Glacier Point parking lot, but it’s a bit of a trek.
