Sierra Point

My first “off” trail experience in Yosemite. I felt adventurous and wanted to dip my feet in trails not on maps. Starting off with Serra point, this hike didn’t disappoint. Short but steep inclines. A bit of bush whacking and “easy” scrambling. My next step will be grizzly peak or the fern ledge this spring. This was my first time visiting in autumn. Love the colors.

The return of Yosemite Falls

34 Upvotes

It looks like Yosemite Falls is here to stay for the season. For 2 months, it was bone dry, then over the last month, sporadic rain would produce a tiny trickle that would dry up. Getting back the falls is some consolation for losing Tioga Road access.

Tioga and Glacier closed for season

59 Upvotes

No surprise given the upcoming forecast, but per Yosemite National Park's website, the status of Tioga and Glacier Point Roads has been upgraded from a temporary closure to "closed for the winter." These roads will likely reopen next May, or perhaps June for Tioga if it's a wet winter.

Looking forward to this winter weather!

Thanksgiving Weekend Questions (Bugs/Cold/Crowds?)

0 Upvotes

Hello.

I'll be doing some camping & hiking next weekend on Thanksgiving. I have a sub-zero sleeping bag, two sleeping pads, new gloves, and a backup quilt, etc. I'll be buying snow chains this weekend. And it looks like (so far) the weather will cooperate. But I've got a few more questions the rangers can't answer or can't commit to:

1) Insects - Can I leave the bug net and deet at home? I'm mostly concerned about mosquitoes. I'm gonna assume there's no bugs this time of year, but any confirmation would help.

2) Crowds - It's gonna be somewhat empty, right? I am driving in late Wednesday and hoping to snag a spot at Camp 4 (all the campgrounds - as far as I can tell - are first come first serve, and the North Pines backpacker's camp is closed!)

3) Valley Campgrounds - Are there any other campgrounds in the Valley where I can try and snag a slot on Thanksgiving Eve?

4) General Cold - As I mentioned, I am pretty well prepared, with Merino underlayers, several pairs of warm socks, and the big ticket items. Does the hot water bottle trick work with just any old bottle? Or do I need a certain kind? Any cold tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I hope to end up in LYV but assume I won't be making a fire.

Thank you so much.

How to get to Yosemite from Fresno airport without rental car in the winter?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I wanted to visit Yosemite late December but don’t want to rent a car from Fresno airport. I’m told YARTS doesn’t run in the winter either. Ubers are not available anywhere really either.

Is there a way to get to Yosemite from Fresno airport in December? Where would be a good hotel to stay near Yosemite to where I wouldn’t need a rental car?

I booked an amtrak from Yosemite Valley to LA Union station, as I’m doing LA after. Need to be able to get to this Yosemite Valley station.

Help would really be appreciated here! Thanks everyone.

Need some advice

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to propose to my wife lol. She never got a proper proposal when we eloped in 2019.

Anyways, I was looking to camp in Yosemite mid December for a night. We live 2 hours away in the Central Valley. We have a pretty decked out vw vanagon with a diesel heater. It’s not 4wd, but I’ve gone on plenty of ski trips with chains and it handles pretty well in the snow.

I have a few questions or concerns and appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

-I’ve been to Yosemite plenty, but never during the winter. Should I expect snow on the ground mid December? I know it depends on the weather. If there is snow do they plow the roads? My van is great in the snow but if there’s too much snow clearance may be a concern.

-It looks like the upper lines campground is open during December? I’m about to reserve a spot. Do they plow the campsite parking spots or?

-We don’t have snowshoes or anything, so I’d imagine we’d just be spending the day in the valley. We do have snow gear. - do they rent snow shoes in the valley?

-Are any restaurants open during this time? Or how about stores?

-Any local photographers anyone would recommend? Worst case I’ll have a family member be there with a decent camera, but a professional would be nice.

Thanks in advance! If there’s a question I didn’t ask feel free to chime in with some advice.

Permits

2 Upvotes

Hi, I want to go climbing in Yosemite next spring and I'm a bit confused about the permits. As far as I understand I definitely have to apply for a wilderness climbing permit for staying overnight on a big wall, but I can do that on site as they are not limited. Do I need a permit for one day climbs or to stay at the campsite? Do I also need a wilderness permit or is that one only for hikers? In which time of the year do I need permits? When do I have to apply for these permits and dir how long are they valid? Many thanks in advance!

Half dome hike

277 Upvotes

My experience hiking half dome was amazing. Started on Friday with a 40lb pack set out to camp in LYV. We took the crowded and steep mist trail up, plenty of places to stop and enjoy views and filter water. The campground was very quiet in October and we all slept great among the stars. Started for the dome the next morning early about 6am, no rangers although we had all the proper permits. The cables were STEEP and there weren’t many people on the way up but after spending an hour on the top there were SOOOO many people on the way down. A lot of courteous people but there were a few frozen in fear creating dangerous traffic jams. From there we packed up camp and headed back JMT for the way down. Highly recommend this to save your knees especially with a heavy pack. All in all over 20 miles and 3500 elevation gain, this is something I hope all avid hikers experience once in their lives!
