Pros: Some scenery seen no where else in the world. Cons: The crowds.
Early in July 2004 we went to Yosemite National Park for eight days. We stayed at Mariposa KOA in Midpines, CA. Do not stay here. The campground was nice but it was a 45 minute drive to Yosemite also in California. About Yosemite My ...
Pros: It's a national park for a reason! Cons: Boy, was it crowded and expensive.
A week at Yosemite National Park is almost certainly insufficient to see the whole 1200 miles of it, and mr_chelledun and I had a measly two days. Still, we covered some ground in our short time there, and I feel qualified to tell you that ...
Pros: Fabulous setting and decor, friendly staff Cons: Food didn't always measure up to expectations
The Ahwanee Hotel is one of those places that you hear about a lot, but unless you are operating on a much more generous budget than ours, you don't get to see it. It's a hotel at the far end of the Yosemite Valley that was designed in the 1920s...
Pros: magnificent scenery; plenty to do; still feels ageless and untamed in spite of human presence Cons: signs of human encroachment are, understandably, ever-present, but an eyesore nonetheless; too much to do!
When suffering from writer’s block, the best thing that one can do is turn to a source of inspiratio ...
Pros: Breathtaking scenery, the vast wilderness, superb hiking!
Cons: Be prepared to drive long distances! Traffic and crowds in Yosemite Valley can be horrendous!
Count me among the millions of people who have been awe-struck by the magnificent and diverse landscape of Yosemite, America's oldest National Park. Massive granite cliffs, glacier-carved valleys, alpine meadows, waterfalls and lakes, giant Sequoia trees ...
Pros: Incredibly breathtaking. I almost feel like I can die happily. Cons: A lot of nail-biting driving required -- but it is worth it!
"Look out! Look out!" my new husband shrieked. A coyote rushed past me. I could have touched it if I swung my arm out at just the right millisecond. My heart palpitated. What a rush. He was a tiny blur at the end of the parking lot before I ...
Pros: Beautiful scenery, hiking, water falls Cons: crowded during the summer months
I have been going to Yosemite since I was about 8 years old. We used to go several times per year when I was growing up, we were lucky enough to live very close to the park so the trip was easily made in a day or a weekend.
Pros: A good option for the budget traveler who does not have a tent Cons: Very basic accommodation
A lot of people have given excellent reviews on the many beautiful features on Yosemite National Park so I thought I would concentrate mainly on the accommodation we stayed at in the valley - Housekeeping Camp.
Pros: reasonably nice campgrounds with some sites affording privacy Cons: No "off road" camping, limited to prepared campgrounds only.
I have spent much of my life living in hotel rooms so they no longer appeal to me. My idea of a vacation involves sharing my morning coffee with the deer, chipmunks, and any other wild creature that might be curious about the pancake smells emanating...
Pros: Cheaper than hotels; setting is enjoyable when not crowded; in the valley. Cons: A bit overpriced in my view, NOISE from neighbors, curfew not enforced.
Warning, I've been to Yosemite a couple of times and love the natural landscape but this is a specific review of Camp Curry. Having looked for ANY reviews on Curry, I couldn't believe there wasn't a detailed review considering the tons of people who'd ...
A few years ago, while on our family drive out West, we had the opportunity to stay for a couple of days in Yosemite. I had heard many wonderful things about Yosemite, but words, pictures, or video really do little justice to describe this beautiful...
Pros: Spectacular views and lots of fun things to do. Cons: Summer is the pits!
Yosemite is AWESOME!!! No if, ands or buts. You can see features in Yosemite that you can not see anywhere else in the world. Yosemite is a wonderous geological event. You can see a plethora of awesome geological structures and events within the...
Pros: Incomparable scenery Cons: too many people; WAY too commercialized.
Having lived, worked, & photographed in Yosemite Valley for more than 4 years now, I am often asked "when is the BEST time to visit Yosemite?". The easy answer? Visit from April 15th to May 15th. The waterfalls are exploding, flowers are starting to ...
Pros: Scenic trails and its biodiversity Cons: Long lines up Half-Dome
To Travel is Better than to Arrive. It was June 20, the day before our scheduled hike up Half-Dome. We decided to reserve the longest day of the year for the 16.4mi hike that ascends over 4,700ft and takes 12hrs for the average hiker. We, on the other ...
