FLOATING THE MERCED RIVER - YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK

[@johnnyharbuckle3808]

Brought back many memories of many family vacations to yosemite when we would float on that same river for hours every day. Looks just about the same. Didn't need reservations then. Very calming video. Thanks.

How nice. I am going to Yosemite this June and would like to try that. May I know your starting point for this and how you got back to your starting point? Thanks :)

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Yes, we left a car in the parking area by the take out bridge. Then we parked at Curry Village parking lot.

Beautiful! How long was the whole trip on kayak?

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Couple of hours. We just floated along.

[@bradkreutzkamp5372]

Where did you take out and how did you get back to Curry Village?

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Parked a car at the bridge. Shuttle.

[@zoedo3125]

Where did you get your boat/kayak float?

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Right at Moss Landing there is a rental spot. Nice folks!

The Water was so low. Dry season this year.

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

I haven’t been yet this summer, but that is what I expected. :-(

[@TommyChang76]

What time of the year (month) was this? Thanks

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

June

[@bpenguin]

Where did you camp outside the park?

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Right off of Evergreen Rd.

Is this the same river now closed over Gerrish Chung family deaths??

[@OverlandTravelAdventures]

Yes! But they were found many miles away from the pristine water in Yosemite. It is a horrible story and they are still investigating. Recently, reports of “toxic algae”.
