Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Should give it a visit, a Catholic Church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel with traditional Cemetery in front to see the history of original families in this town. A small cemetery on another site with no markers where Chinese of the Gold Rush era were buried, Found this during a Pokemon search.

Good ride and views in Yosemit while we were traveling along. Enjoyed the pines and views in the distance.

Do drive this road entirely. The portion of the road into Yosemite Valley is a wonder, true, but the portion of the road all the way down, beyond the town of Priest, was also spectacular.

The road between Buck Meadows and YNP is being repaved, and the road is down to one lane. We had to wait 15-20 each time we drove through that section.

This road into Yosemite has impressive views, and impressive twists and turns. There are convenient overview spots, but parking is limited and no notice that they are coming up

Beautiful drive to Yosemite Valley on a weekday. Do not recommend weekend trip no parking and slow traffic. Plan on two hours to Yosemite Village on weekend if you do not make any stops along the way. Plenty of places to pull off and take photos along the way. Well maintained road with beautiful scenery and views.

Kind of hot drive as you drop through a canyon down to the Yosemite Valley. As you come down, get ready for some wonderful views and waterfalls. After the long tunnel, get ready to pull over for some great pictures. Also watch for people crossing the road as you leave the darkened tunnel, letting your eyes adjust.

El Portal on route 140 is closer to the Yosemite Valley as the motel rates will demonstrate. Rush Creek in the next closest on this route 120 road entrance, but much farther that anything in El Portal.

If you are taking highway 120 from east to west (toga to big oak flat and onto groveland ca) what is the actual height restrictions for the tunnels leaving the park and going west.
Written 16 September 2019
Check with the park, as I recall the only tunnels are for the climb out of the valley, two or three tunnels, the rest is relatively flat on the flats. I would think they are as high as the long tunnel from the southwest entrance.
