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?

Used to live about 2 hours away, and visited Yosemite regularly from the early 90's to the early 2010's. Always midweek, but also usually during the absolute busiest time - in the spring for the waterfalls. If our plans included going into the valley, get to the gate by 8, and into the valley about 45 minutes later. Back then, it helped to have a pass, because they usually had a separate line for pass holders. Head straight to the village and park as close to it as possible. DO NOT stop to sightsee on the way in. Always had our bikes with us, so the car was parked for the day. If bringing guests, it's easy enough to rent bikes. As noted, it's a HUGE mistake to try and move your car, you'll likely never find another spot. Most of the major sites in the valley are accessible by bike. We'd stop near El Capitan on the way out to watch the climbers for a while, and possibly visit Bridalvail Fall as the sun was going down, much less crowded than mid day. I know it's been a while, and of course it was always pretty busy, but it NEVER felt as crowded and claustrophobic as in this video, as long as we stuck to the plan. Can also make a full day out of driving and hiking Glacier Point Road, or Tuolumne Meadows, and deal with a fraction of the traffic and crowds in the valley. DO NOT try and combine any 2 of these 3 major locations in a single day. They're too far apart, and you'll spend WAY TOO MUCH of your day sitting in the car. A full day, or more, should be devoted to each of the three. If you don't want to deal withe th potential nightmare that often happens in the valley, go to one of the other locations - you can get a "wilderness" experience simply by getting a mile or so away from the road. It doesn't have to be anywhere near as bad as what's shown here.

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?

If you arrive later in the day, say 4-5pm, would there still be traffic to get in the park? We’re going in early August

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 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much for this video.

Omg that’s insane!

They need to get cars out of Yosemite. If you waited hours to get in, you’re part of the problem. That, and why are you going to Yosemite in the summer? If you can travel off season, why aren’t you?

😢😮 so , if I go first to visiting Mariposa grove at 7-7:30am and then the rest of the park I will be in trouble??? I will go on July 20th Saturday 😢

Can you bring your own firewood?

Whats the closest airport ..??? Flying from east coast
