Big Oak Flat Road which runs along the western side of Yosemite National Parks, offers some of the most scenic views as you make your way in or out of the park. And one of the best spots to capture incredible views of El Capitan and Half Dome, is this pullout and vista point. With a small parking lot large enough for around 10 vehicles, it can fill up quickly on busier days. But if you are traveling in and out of the this part of the park, this is a must stop spot!
