Lafayette Bunnell - Tunnel View - Yosemite, CA - Etched in Stone on Waymarking.com

The plaque says, "Miwok people, who called themselves Ahwahneechee, lived in Yosemite Vally for thousands of years. Their traditional practice of regularly burning the meadows and oak woodlands of the Valley contributed to the open landscape fist seen by the Mariposa Battalion.

From this breathtaking viewpoint into Yosemite Valley, you can see three of its remarkable features: El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. In March 1851, a local militia )known as the Mariposa Battalion) was dispatched to the area in search of Miwok people suspected of attacking a trading post. The group stumbled upon this view and became the first Euro-Americans to enter Yosemite Valley."
