Moderate Yosemite Valley Day Hikes

[@lynap1011]

Can’t wait to see and hike Yosemite National Park..thank you for sharing

[@1ScottUK]

These park rangers must have one of the best jobs in the world.

[@siriosstar4789]

They use to , but now they have to spend most of their time making sure people don't destroy the park or themselves. 😳

[@siriosstar4789]

@Scotland collecting fees , educating the visitors on the history , giving directions and instructions for hiking, assisting in animal encounters etc.

[@writereducator]

@@qemdrive Then the Sierra Club would ban human beings from the park.

I hiked to the top of the falls last month. It took me 13 hours and 7 minutes for the round trip, of which about 3 hours was for rest and photography stops, so 10 hours of actual hiking. The climb is 2700 feet in 3.2 miles. Young people in good shape can do this hike in 6~7 hours. Recommended to bring: (a) Two trekking poles; you will definitely appreciate them on the descent, when you are tired and leg muscles are fatigued. (b) At least 3 liters of water. (c) A headlamp - if you get caught still on the trail at sunset, you will be in trouble if you don't have a light. Much of the trail is rough and rocky, and it's pitch dark under the tree-shaded sections at night. (d) GOOD hiking boots, well broken in, with good, thick boot socks to cushion them. DON'T try to do this hike in sneakers! The trail is very rocky and you need boots to help support your ankles and protect your feet. NOTE: Wait for afternoon to take photos of Half Dome, on your descent, as the light will be better. Photos of Upper Yosemite Falls from the trail are better in the morning. Pace yourself on the ascent and take rest and food breaks when you feel the need to. Don't try to push yourself too hard on the ascent as you need to conserve physical resources for the descent.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience for this hike. We are certainly considering the hike and can use any and all valuable info. Greatly appreciated!

[@kadenbohm775]

15 hours for 3 miles?

[@kadenbohm775]

discorperted I did it last month. Took me about an two hours round trip

[@kadenbohm775]

discorperted after thinking about it more, I realize that it probably took me a little longer than 2 hours. I know because we were at the trailhead at 11, and got food from the general store at like 1:45 , so yea my bad. 15 hours is crazy tho, I mean if you are really out of shape and take constant breaks, it could take 5 hours tops, but not anywhere near 15

[@heliscat]

I'm 42 and in relatively good shape and can do the round trip in about 4 hours. Take your time though, and enjoy the amazing views. Take it easy coming down too; your knees will thank you for it.

[@rhondatraywick3724]

One of our most beautiful parks! On my bucket list at a less peopley time! 😃🍁🍂

[@senorjames]

Love this series! These videos are beautiful and a great way to learn about Yosemite!

[@eunailee7879]

Yes, and thanks to everyone who are in charge of managing the national parks or any parks....

[@DnSAdventures]

Loved hiking here a couple weeks ago! Perfect spring days and gorgeous waterfalls :)

[@arindustries5848]

Ohhh!!! I love this so much!! I can't wait to travel and hike these trails. Thank you for sharing this :) !!

[@AmyProctor]

That was a great little tutorial. Thanks for that!

[@daneriksson8947]

Such a wonderful place, it's how I imagine Eden.

[@malexander2061]

Great video and insight into hiking options for hikers who are unfamiliar with Yosemite. Thank you.

[@johneason6540]

Beautiful park, great reccomendations and you presented the info very well. Great job

[@LouiseHedberg]

Very insightful! I already want to go back and hike more.

[@maximusaugustus6823]

Beautiful park, I can't wait to visit

[@Darwin864]

Very nice presentation! I feel like going hiking right now!

[@lesliekaner]

[@EarPlugTV]

Great video. Thank you.

[@Al3_559]

I went there it has snow. ❄⛄

[@cq7415]

Beautiful.....thanks

[@joycecory]

Love your videos!!

[@rva1945]

In August I will spend a couple of nights in Mariposa, 45 minutes from Yosemite National Park, so I think I will have 1.5 days to enjoy the park. Any advice?

[@loatfield]

Very Nice! (pretty music, but I would really much rather have more of the natural sounds. The wind through the grass, birds & all are a huge part of the beauty.)

[@rubenruvalcaba585]

Is Yosemite open in November ? When does it close ? 😇❤️🦌🐻❤️😇

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

It doesn't. I have a National Parks Pass and I go year round. Tioga Pass will be closed in the winter but the valley stays open year-round.

[@koytube232]

优胜美地有永远赞赏不完的魅力风光，去过一次享用一生。

[@fullermrff]

do they still offer the bear cave tour, where a ranger would take us to see actual bear caves?

[@duncpol]

Is she narrating that from "Inspiration Point"?

[@MrMikepaniora]

lovely girl nice vid keep up the good work

[@manybikes]

We did Half Dome! It was a fantastic day hike, but we had a hard time getting our family to understand the importance of preparation for that hike. We did it in 14 hours... and only 3 of our group of 6 made it to the top. This video was created to spark their need to PREP! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5nQe2yEra-Bp68

Very well sail my love Vickie

[@usrep]

I'm just here for the hot ranger.

[@wreams2964]

I am going to make it my life’s work to serve in nature. I will be a park ranger. I want that hat.

[@stateofmissouri5651]

it is a pog hat, what state would you like to work in?

[@wreams2964]

@@stateofmissouri5651 idk. The hat is just kind of a symbol of the job for me. Would def like to work In Yosemite (generic) but I don’t really know

[@b57ecv]

Got any jobs free?

[@alanmooney3120]

Is the Ranger single?...:)...seriously Yosemite is in my backyard, I'm up thee 6 to 12 times yearly. Over 40 hikes. A big part of my heart is up there :)

[@quangpham6093]

I though this is a music video

[@p.smitty3105]

This ranger is a hottie! I hope I see her on the trail..

[@rightsidelanechoice7702]

A huge glacier didn’t create that valley. God created it. Don’t get it twisted.

[@kokopelli2012]

i hope the other rangers are better looking

[@AmyProctor]

+Erik Charles You're a jerk, aren't you?

[@kokopelli2012]

+Amy Proctor believe me u dont wanna get me going. i worked for nps for years and had it with the BS, politics, unfair treatment, lies and left. I wonder who Vickie Mates WITH?

[@bowenj10]

Did it ever occur to you that the way you were treated was a reflection of your attitude towards others?

[@obsf415]

By his lack of respect it is evident that Erik is definitely low hanging fruit.

[@Lulu-vi4wb]

Erik Charles that’s mean. What does look got to do with it?
