Thanks for the video. I am beginning to plan a trip for maybe late March or early April and it is nice to see a "real" video instead of the AI stuff that pops up when I search.

Really appreciate the video, thank you. Partner and I are planning to go in July of this year. I'm a bit scared of the heat and the crowds any idea how it's been now? Is it heat something to be concerned about?

I just reserved a cabin in Curry Village less than 2 weeks before my trip lol. I’m guessing that’s because it’s November. Wish me luck! I’m scared that it will snow and driving conditions will be bad

Hi Thera! I sent you a message on FB. Like your videos!

Can you sleep inside the vehicle on upper pine? I don't have a tent or an RV.

So good

the Valley campgrounds remind me of refugee camps somewhere. They are crowded, noisy, sites right on top of each other, no vegetation anywhere. People bring radios, tv's, too bright lights at nite.

the tent cabins in Curry Village are overpriced, the beds are worn out, it's very noisy there, the Curry Village cabins are falling apart. The Yos Lodge rooms are ok, expensive and no screens so when it gets in the 90's in summer you can't open a window for air. The check-in times are 4pm and I have stood in line at checkin for over an hour.

Doesn't hurt to fight when they are still in velvet?❤

Did you say there’s NO parking in Curry Village??? Even if you’re staying in Curry Village?

I can't wait to visit someday🥹

JAYWALKING, GIVE HIM A TICKET.

Dont see any Elk??

Elk ? Looks like a buffalo

Hi. Thanks for this video. I will be visiting and staying at Curry Village in early November. This will be my first time to Yosemite. Do I need a National Park pass or something?

I went to Yosemite early August. It was beautiful, but I feel I missed so much. Is the valley floor tour, or the other ranger tours free or fee based?

I have reservations at Bridal Veil campground. You didn’t mention it so I’m wondering if it’s a good place. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you! This was very helpful!

Great video

Thanks for the YNPTRAFFIC tip!

the sound of your voice suits this bitching and complaining video you made.

Anyone taken their dogs to Yosemite before 😁🤔

pretty helpful, but I notice that you conflate 'The Valley' and 'The Park' several times. Like 'there is no parking within the entire park' when you meant 'the valley'. A small thing - the 'park' is huge and vast and there are many things to do outside of the valley. That said, EVERYONE should see the valley at some point in their life. The most obvious way to avoid these monster crowds is to avoid summer altogether of course. thanks

Super helpful video.. this maybe a stupid question but you are allowed to sleep in your car at North Pines Campground correct? When I go to reserve it won’t let me book without checking what kind of equipment (RV, Tent)

omg the food was amazing the chef cook puts his heart into his work

Thank you for being so open about this. So helpful Planning to be there before 5am to see all the beauty of sunrise

Im going in August should I spect a cooler weather at any point of day?

absolutely love your channel! my friends and I are planning a trip to yosemite and you have been a god send! love your vibe :) <3

Thank you for making this helpful video. Would you happen to know how things are going in the park this Summer, 2024?

Thanks for a wonderful educational video, this is really valuable especially for first time visitors with young kids. One question - how is last week of September,is it similarly crowded like peak summer ?

Here’s the best tip for anyone trying to visit Yosemite. (Was there 2 weeks ago) Go during the week, late May early June. The end.

Is the fall from Taft Point that far?

You do whatever you can to get out of it's way! It's not a zoo!

He's in velvet not rut

Tourists gave him drugs, he is high

Did he end up fighting your car?

What do you do in that case? Keep still or back up the car?

Is the shuttle bus in Yosemite stops in the spots like hop on hop off bus?

Simple solution is to wake up at 4am, not exactly desirable but you're going to Yosemite, soooo.

Tuolumne Meadows campground has flush toilets.

Do you need a3 day pass if you have yaarts bus tickets

Has anyone been there in 2024? What’s the situation like this year? I know there is a reservation system in place. I am going there on the 1st week of June and it’d be great to get some insight on this.

We planned to spend 4 days there in Jun 23; postponed until Oct 24. Stuff like this suggests that was the right call. We’ll be there during the week, and staying at the Valley lodge. Hoping these steps will mitigate the crowd problem.

Lmfao, California is a total shithole! Place is probably covered in empty Modelo bottles and used diapers 😂😂😂

they have reservations back 🎉🎉🎉🎉 applaud that decision

Thank you for the video! super helpful! I'm heading to Yosemite this weekend and I got reservations for North pine campground :)

I love the precision and detail on this video. Thank you.

Is it possible to tell me a good place that has a kitchen but is also close to Yosemite Valley?

was this during a weekend or weekday, I'm camping there this August Monday through wed 2024. also thanks for this video it will help with peoples plans and certainly put my expections in check.

Awesomeness 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
