YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK - Travel Guide for first-time visitors (watch before you go!)

[@CrosbyGraceTravels]

*2022 UPDATE: Starting May 20, 2022 through September 2022, day-use reservations will again be required to get into the park before 4 pm. If you have a Half Dome or wilderness permit, overnight lodging reservation, or camping reservation, you do NOT need a day pass. Day pass reservations go on sale for all arrivals May 20th through September 30th beginning on March 23, 2022 at 8 am PT. If you don’t score a reservation on March 23 or after, no need to panic! Beginning May 13th, an additional batch of reservations is available every day 7 days in advance of arrival. It sounds scary to wait until that close to your trip, but this is how we got ours and there were plenty at that time. Here is the link to get them: www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086745

Being a true nature lover and a hiker I've never been to the US and Yosemite is on my top list of hiking spot I was truly happy when you said: I truly wish everyone get the chance to experience it once-in-a-lifetime thank you so much for such a lovely and touching words.

I've been. It has been around 31 years, but I whole heartedly agree. Yosemite is HEAVEN! And I plan on taking my wife and kids next month.

[@aliciarodriguez8471]

My favorite thing to do at Yosemite is the night star tour. They take you to a perfect spot, and they have a tarp layed out, and your guide ask you to lay on it and the stars look amazing!!! He even explains the stars and when I was there their was a meter shower, so amazing

Swimming in Emerald Pool is not recommended especially when in a rushing river. People have swam there before and the strong under current water have swept people away over the falls. It is dangerous. Besides, it is illegal.

[@WonsPhreely]

Thanks for sharing! Im thinking of going this week. Is there a camp ground called Yosemite Valley? Im trying to find that listing, but I can find it. There are a lot of other camp ground listed, some available, some not, but I cant see one called Yosemite Valley?

Well done guide for a first-time visitor, I'm impressed! When it reopens, the Sentinel Dome and Taft point trails will be accessible again. Sentinel Dome is hands down THE best view (of the easily accessible trails) in the park. You have to put in a little work (90% of visitors will never see it). It is way better than Glacier Point and you should plan to be there for sunset. Edit: Do NOT swim in the Emerald Pool! It can and has been DEADLY. Look it up.

[@Mairrai]

Hi! I love your video, but I just wanted to point out that it's illegal to swim in Emerald Pools, as well as dangerous (per NPS).

The only access to Glacier Point, Sentinel Dome, Taft Point, and other Glacier Point Road destinations is via a long, strenuous hike. No water or toilets are available at Glacier Point.

[@tmm4usc]

Awesome review. I have camped in Yosemite Valley and in Tuolumne Meadows going back decades and every trip I see or learn something new. So beautiful. I do highly suggest staying out of the water above or near waterfalls. The swimming segment in Emerald Pool and the Silver Apron area is dangerous to promote and swimming there is actually prohibited. In fact there are No Swimming signs in this area and others (Nevada Falls too). Unfortunately water has taken many lives in Yosemite...it's well documented in a book called "Death in Yosemite". A must read for parents with young children and teenagers. Many souls have gone over the falls, whether it be Vernal, Nevada, Upper Falls, etc. I must say it is tempting to enter the water, especially after a good hike on a hot day...but resist the temptation if the water is moving fast and definitely above or near waterfalls. Even getting too close to the waters edge can be deadly as granite is slippery when wet and there's always the moss / slime to deal with. If you want to swim, then head to Tenaya Lake or one of the many other lakes in the High Sierras. Swimming in certain segments of the Merced River during high water flow periods can also be also dangerous....submerged trees, branches, logs and rocks can easily snag your foot and trap you under fast moving water. Not to mention the water can be very cold and hyperthermia can set in quickly. So be careful. Yosemite is such a wonderful place that taking chances is not worth it.....plus you'll miss all the awesome future campfires at night time. Yosemite comes alive at night too...the stars...the moonlight dancing in & out between the trees....the shadows come alive.

[@redviolet99]

Can I use my own bike there? Camping or staying in a lodge is more enjoyable?

[@travelingaquanauts3137]

We love Yosemite! Love seeing it in Summer from your vlogs..we usually go in the Spring (and there is usually still snow on the ground!) no crowds at all! My husband was stationed at Travis AFB for years (prior to my meeting him..) so he knew all the good stuff to see at Yosemite. Tip: If you are military (active or retired) the yearly National Park Pass is absolutely FREE! Last trip we stayed at the infamous Cedar Lodge which is not too far from the El Portal gate at Yosemite. Can't wait until I retire in 3 years and we can travel out to California during all the seasons (we live in Ga) in our Imagine 17MKE camper. Yes, your model is the same one that we have decided on after looking at probably 500 different camper configurations. We kept going back the 17MKE as the best one going! I started watching your channel because of the Imagine but love your content!

Hi. I'm French. With my familly we think about spending 3 weeks in west us next summer. We plan to visit Yosemite Park. How many night would you recommend to stay to do the trails you mention in your very nice video please. Thanks

[@jacquelinesummerton]

I would say you'd need at least 3 nights in the park. But you might be able to do most of it with a very busy 3 days/2 nights

[@homerthompson416]

You could spend a month there and still have amazing stuff to do if you like hiking. If you want to see waterfalls May and June are best. If you want to summit peaks, and lots of great ones like Clouds Rest, Mount Dana, and Mount Hoffmann are simple hikes with no technical climbing or anything, shoot for August. The trade off is the waterfalls will be way less impressive, but if you go in waterfall season the tradeoff is the high country trails will still have some snow and difficult stream crossings, and the road up to them might not even be open. Mist Trail to the top of Nevada Fall is an absolute must if you go in waterfall season (May/June) though expect to get as wet as if you took a shower in your clothes when you're doing the steps under Vernal Fall. Late summer peak bagging Mount Hoffmann is incredible or if you're ok going 22km roundtrip Clouds Rest is unreal for that ridgeline above Tenaya Canyon (always at least a couple meters wide so nothing dangerous). Mount Dana is must see too that time of year but get an early start in the morning because it's above tree line and steep, but it's the second highest peak in the park and a walk up (the highest is Mount Lyell which is a technical climb requiring glacier traversal, though you can see that glacier and peak from Mount Dana).

How long is the mist trail hike to vernal falls. What is the time it took for you?

[@homerthompson416]

It's about a mile and a half one way with about 1000 feet of elevation gain to get to the top of Vernal Fall. Add another 1000 feet of elevation gain and another couple miles to get to the top of Nevada Fall, which is also extremely impressive.

We mostly plan on driving through the park and sightseeing. Hiking maybe a little bit.
