Artist point will allow you to enjoy tunnel view without the traffic.
However, back in 1855, artist thomas ayres stood at artist’s point and drew a picture of yosemite valley that as was published in california magazine. Essentially the point is a continuation the falls hike and it’s just a quick walk over to the falls viewpoint along the way making it easy to experience both in one outing. The beautifully shaped mount shuksan is the star of the area, with a gorgeous summit pyramid and several impressive glaciers. It is a very strenuous climb but offers wonderful views of the valley as you go.
