Surround yourself with the massive valley of Yosemite on a morning stroll down Chapel Boardwalk. With a perfectly aligned walkway leading right up to Yosemite Falls (the highest in the National Park at 2,425 ft), you can take a moment to breathe in the crisp air and enjoy the view as the light begins to flicker onto the landscape.

This image was taken on the Chapel Boardwalk of Yosemite Falls. To get this perspective, I stood right next to Southside Drive.
Drive along Southside Drive. When you start to see the trees disperse, revealing a view of Yosemite Falls, park your car on the pullout to the left. Follow the paved path northeast until you see the first wooden boardwalk cutting directly through the meadow and then reference the GPS coordinates to see the exact location of where I stood.
