I like Valley View before/at sunrise. Took this one about two weeks ago (click on the thumb for a full view):
Here's another taken from almost the spot but 5 or 6 years ago. This one was taken around Thanksgiving just after a light snow, at about 1/2 hour after official sunrise as the sun is just hitting the face of El Cap:
So yeah, I think it's worth dragging your butt out of bed to be there for sunrise .
Cheers,
