Extremely lonely place

This lookout is one of the best in Yosemite National Park, though it's really nothing more than a blip on the map. You can enjoy solitude and incredible views. It's on Highway 120, on the way out of the park by the Tioga Pass, which is more than 3,000 meters in altitude, so it's closed in winter because of snow and the bitter cold. The Tioga Pass offers a great shortcut if you're going to Las Vegas across Death Valley. Before arriving at Tenaya Lake, on your right, you'll find this little gazebo, that offers a breathtaking view of Lake Tenaya, the Cathedral and Clouds Rest (where with good binoculars you can see dozens of climbers hung its walls).

It's an extremely lonely place with only the wind, river or the Tenaya campground at Sunrise Lakes. A general tip for the entire park, but especially in these lonesome points, don't leave food in your vehicle if you don't want to meet a bear when you return.
