Prettiest Parking Lot in the World

Here's another tip for visiting Yosemite – park here!  As I already mentioned in an earlier post, visitors to Yosemite Valley arrive later in the morning, so get to the park early and park here, at the Sentinel Bridge parking lot.  It's a small lot off the main loop road, but it easily the most scenic, central, and convenient parking lot in Yosemite.  Park the car here and then hop on the free shuttle buses to get around the rest of the valley.  Plus when you park here, you get that drive-in movie kind of experience, only a million times better.
