Hello again and thanks for the helpful response. I hope that I will be able to flee from the crowds, but with all the hints you gave me, I guess I will be pretty fine.

Hey folks! I'm looking for some advice and would appreciate any information. I will be travelling through California in May and stay two nights (May 27 - May 29) in the vicinity of Yosemite. One of the things I'd really love to do is taking a sunrise picture from the valley as the rising sun strikes the walls to the west. Some kind of reverse tunnel view.
