I've always thought the view from Eagle Peak is under-rated. I think it's one of the best in the park, but I rarely see people mentioning it.

View from Eagle Peak of Yosemite Valley
I don't know if the view from Eagle Peak is underrated, but it's definitely under-appreciated. It's one of the best views of Yosemite Vally, IMHO. I love that view, but I hate traveling up Upper Yosemite Falls Trail to get there.
Other great views of the valley from the rim that are almost alway very uncrowded are Dewey, Stanford, and Crocker Points off the Pohono Trail on the south rim.

And then you've got the entire west shoulder / knife's edge / Diving Board area of Half Dome past the base of the Snake Dike climb. Not too many people get up there. Quite a special area.
Diving Board and Area
(Which reminds me, I've got a bunch of newer photos from up there I need to get online!)

...Diving Board was mentioned and that is very highly rated but because it is simply a difficult scramble requiring careful route finding up from LYV to reach, it is not often visited except by those in the climbing community. ...
