I’m so grateful to have found your video I used your tips for Grand Canyon.
I think you need to add a sixth thing to your video, and that’s to get your itinerary! I bought one last week, and I can't stop looking at it and dreaming about our Yosemite trip! I showed it to a friend’s bro in law who worked as a geologist in Yosemite for a summer, and even he was blown away and said he couldn’t have come up with a better plan to see the park in 1-4 days. Thanks for making such a difference, Ash….we really appreciate you!!
Thanks so much! You totally made my day, and I'm so excited for you to visit Yosemite!
You're an angel! Most informative Yosemite video I've seen. Definitely going to your site. 💕
Thanks for sharing!! I can’t wait 🙌🏼
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for the info. I was planning for the trip to Yosemite and felt overwhelmed. Will definitely check your other videos. 👍
Thanks for watching! Enjoy Yosemite!
You're definitely right about booking lodging well in advance. Even snagging a decently priced accommodation in Oakhurst feels like a great deal!
Yes, so true! I hope you were able to get what you needed!
Thank you for the pointers. We are planning a trip in October for five days. We are excited to go back and look forward to the visit. Your pointers will help us pre-plan our visit.
Enjoy Yosemite!
Thank you for sharing! Great information ☺️
You're welcome!
Thank you Ash, your tips have been invaluable.
Happy to help!
Great info Ash!
Thanks!
Great tips on Yosemite. This channel has good info to help improve visits to the parks. Thanks for your effort to help people. Take care.
Thanks!
This was absolutely the best advice for Yosemite booking. We followed your advice this morning and snagged a 3 day spot in June at Upper Pines. Without your tips, we would have failed...big time. THANKS!
I'm so happy to hear that you'll be staying at Upper Pines! Have an amazing time!
Reservations are now required to get into Yosemite because of how busy it was last summer 2023. We were there July 30-31st from Wisconsin. Waterfalls were still had a large flow rate because of all the snow the prior winter. Tioga road opened only two weeks earlier. Dean
Yeah, it was kind of a mess last year haha
It's the most beautiful place there is! I like this place very much and I want to go there. Hell, It must be amazing to live in this place. I love this country, The national parks here are beautiful. Thank you very much for this video, I really appreciate it. 🙂👍🏞️🌲🏞️
You're welcome! I hope you are able to visit soon!
Hi Ash! Great video, such a great information you provided. I found it really useful.
My name is Eddie from Argentina and I'm planning to visit the US and try to go to Yosemite in March, between the 12th and 14th. I believe the park would still open but I want to understand how much hike I would be able to do. I'm used to doing a lot of hiking here but always avoiding snow. If I understood correctly there will be snow on those days I chose, am I right? Do you recommend that I visit Yosemite in another season? (I'm not sure when in my life I'm going to be able in short term to visit North America again)
You'll find a full articles on dirtinmyshoes.com about the Best Time to Visit Yosemite, and that should help you make your decision based on what's important to you!
Hi Ash, your video is really good. Congrats.... Iam planning to go in October, and I will rent a RV and make a spot reservation for campgrounds. Iam thinking in North Pines, Lower Pines, Upper Pines. What is your favorite campground? Other question, is there a specific hour to use a generator in the campgrounds?
You'll find that info here: www.dirtinmyshoes.com/all-about-camping-yosemite-national-park/ Have fun!
HI Love America . From India
Your videos are incredibly helpful, thank you. My wife and I are honeymooning in California and are planning a two day trip to Yosemite in May! I do have a question - we have a reservation for Saturday, May 18. Do we still need to get to the park super early? We’d rather not wait in a line for hours, but I’m not sure if we are guaranteed a parking spot since we have a reservation already.
Congrats on your wedding! Your reservation doesn't guarantee a parking spot, so you'll still want to get there early!
@@DirtInMyShoes Good to know. Thanks so much!
Do you know, I'm booked into Yosemite Valley Lodge in September, so am I correct that my reservation is my "pass" into the park or do I still need a timed pass? Also, if I wish to drive up to Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove can I still come & go from the valley without an additional timed pass during my stay? Thanks in advance.
You're all set with that lodging reservation. No entrance reservation needed and you can go anywhere in the park :)
If i want to go just on a one day hike is there any parking available near Mist Trail?
There is a very small parking lot that fills extremely early. You're likely better off parking in one of the bigger lots and taking the shuttle!
Thank you, Anyway to rent Ebikes for our trip? We can not bring our bikes
You can find bike rental options here: www.nps.gov/thingstodo/bikingyosemite.htm
@@DirtInMyShoes Thank you, Any webseits for camping ? I tried a link but its will not work
hello we want to stay in camp 4 or bridaveil creek camp but how do you charge your phone? we are there for 3 days
Sometimes you can find outlets in the bathrooms, but I usually bring a portable battery to charge my devices when I'm camping.
Hi, if I should visit Yosemite around the last week of november, will it be safe to drive there from san francisco? 1st time driving in US. Would you recommend staying there overnight ?
It's hard to say what it will be like at that time of year...snow is possible. And yes, I would stay overnight!
@@DirtInMyShoes thanks!
So what's up with the law about not being able to film or take photos to use on social media? Have they ever resolved this? It's basically kept me from visiting national parks these days.
I haven't heard anything on it lately.
Honestly, camping along Tioga Pass Road is MUCH nicer than camping in Yosemite Valley. The campgrounds may not be as close to Yosemite Valley attractions. But the campsites are much more spacious, spread out, private, and ‘nature immersing’. It is also easier to get a reservation. By contrast, camping in Yosemite Valley is much more like camping at a music featival or RV park. Also, summer weather is MUCH nicer along Tioga Pass Road than in blazing hot Yosemite Valley. And although Yosemite Valley gets all the love, the high country should NEVER be looked at as a downgrade.
I agree...I love camping along the Tioga Road! But it has a much shorter season and isn't as convenient for first-time visitors. When we return to Yosemite, now that we've been many times, we tend to stick to those more off-the-beaten-path areas and campgrounds!
I really wish I had been able to go in the 70's. It seems like everything else tourists have ruined what was pure magic.
You can still find magic there!
You would’ve been able to find a reason to miss the magic back then also. The magic has nothing to do with anybody but you.
Just literally don't go on a weekend, easy
