@@jameswebb9738 Jim, I have been living near a town called Camarillo for about 13 years. i Have Been working for a Company called Anthem the whole time. Bumpy landing leaving the park but im ok.
My family and I arrived at Yosemite this same day (Jan. 6,23’) for our first trip to the National Park and we had a full moon the first night that rose over Half Dome. I was prepared to see landmarks but what Yosemite gave us just an awe inspiring, incredible, unimaginable experience, it took our breathe away. The snow covered trees, the waterfalls flowing so full, and the mountains were so beautiful. We spent the weekend in Curry Village in Stoneman Cabin, very simple room with beds. The village provides everything you need, food, coffee, drinks and a store for incidentals. We took a Saturday morning hike to Mirror Lake and our oldest son proposed to his girlfriend, she said Yes! What a wonderful trip giving us a memory of a lifetime! May God Bless you like he did us on our trip to Yosemite!
Congratulations to your son and future daughter in law. Yosemite, like the Grand Canyon, cannot be described in words. They must be experienced. My wife and I are fortunate enough to live 2 hours west of the park and frequently drive up just for a picnic and a day hike. 2 hours in the other direction and we’re at the beach. We will wake up in the morning and ask over breakfast, where do we go today. As we are both retired and still surf, this makes for tough decisions. Glad you had a memorable visit.

Everyone has said all I want to say except thank you for not talking during the video. Yosemite speaks for itself. Too many videos are about the person making it and not the actual subject matter. Yosemite in winter is magical.
Thank you thank you for noticing !! - I do opposite Vlogging. Too many Yosemite videos show 5 seconds of half dome and then 45 seconds of blogger face talking about it.

Thank you. I live outside of Yosemite, in the middle of the Oak fire burn scar from this past summer. With all the devastation I see daily; it was nice to take a virtual tour of of one of the most beautiful parks in the world.

I was there the weekend of January 24-25, 2010 after the most powerful winter storm in 140 years. There was 4' of snow on the valley floor. It was freezing cold. A photographers dream. It was absolutely stunning.
At 5:13 the silver car on the right is a Volkswagen Golf - a front wheel drive vehicle. The woman is putting the chains on the rear wheels 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️
I love Yosemite I have Gone there many years ago, but the church camp at pine crest znd other areas in the summer, got go again I'm 74 years hope I can drive up there soon, haven't been there for a long time . All enjoy. 😊

Fantástico; un vídeo muy bonito un poco de lo que nuestro planeta tiene y la naturaleza nos regala escenarios maravillosos y es una gran tristeza que se me fue casi la vida y viviendo tan serca de este parque no me di la oportunidad de visitarlo, saludos de Los Angeles California
Thank you soo much for filming!I've owned a beautiful rental home since 2006 along the Fresno River in Oakhurst 15 minutes from the Yosemite Hwy 41 entrance
Funny, family and I were there the next day after this video and it looked nothing like this. Much less snow on the roads. Almost none. Thanks for your tour.
Thank you forever. I hiked up Yosemite falls as a child as it started snowing at the top with both my grandparents who now are deceased who took us there every few years. My grandfather last resting request to be there. So many wonderrful memories I really need today as my hiking is not as it used to be. Feeding apples to the deer and all the camping and redwood trees. Never seen in the winter down in the valley so thank you for sharing this blessed memory of joy, relaxation, night bus rides gazing at the stars and lots of bike riding fun 😊

Even with a 4x4 wheel suv you are required to have chains with you, you don’t have to have them on unless the road conditions are impassable without the chains.
The slide happened on Sunday (Jan. 15), but cleanup efforts that are expected to take a couple of weeks have forced Caltrans to temporarily close a section of Highway 140 near Briceburg in Mariposa County. Caltrans reports that it has initiated an “Emergency Director’s Order to safely clear the slide, stabilize the slope, and make necessary road repairs.” State road officials added that the highway will remain closed until the slope can be “stabilized enough to safely allow traffic to pass through the area.” The roadway is closed from the Bug Hostel to Cedar Lodge between Midpines and El Portal. Caltrans advises that it is expected to remain closed for approximately 1-2 weeks. Motorists can still access Yosemite National Park via Highway 120 in the west or Highway 41 in the south.
Weather in May is usually warm during the day but cold overnight, with average highs in Yosemite Valley in the 70s and lows in the 40s. While rain and snow are possible, they're not very common.
@@alteredmood april/may is the best time to visit. i did an RV trip there a few years ago in april, camped at lower pines. the air is still chilly but not freezing so the snow will be melting and the waterfalls and rivers will be at full power. there's still a little snow on the ground but not enough to be a problem and the chill air is great hiking weather. if you havent reserved an RV spot yet you should start looking now. likely they're already fully reserved; you just have to get lucky and wait for someone to cancel.
After a rockslide closed a section of Highway 140, Caltrans will partially reopen it tomorrow that accesses Yosemite National Park, but motorists can expect long delays. Caltrans reports, “Crews are making excellent progress clearing the slide and stabilizing the slope.” The rocks came tumbling down on Sunday, January 15th, temporarily closing Highway 140 near Briceburg and closing the roadway from the Bug Hostel to Cedar Lodge between Midpines and El Portal, as earlier reported here. Caltrans advised that “clean up on the slide is ahead of schedule,” as this past Sunday crews began hauling material away from the site. They added that barring any setbacks, one-way traffic control will be in place from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, beginning Tuesday, Jan. 24, until both lanes of the highway are fully reopened. Caltrans warns that travelers “should expect extended delays.” www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/2933749/hwy-140-in-mariposa-county-to-partially-reopen-tuesday.html

I lived and worked there for 6 years. Lived on the meadow and when I opened my front door, there was Half Dome. Yosemite is truly a magical place.
Wow. Very special memory
Hope all is well, Jim.

ROAD UPDATE: Rockslide blocks access to Yosemite via Highway 140 www.uniondemocrat.com/news/article_4ad4b15c-979c-11ed-a6c9-4383e5096554.html
The slide happened on Sunday (Jan. 15), but cleanup efforts that are expected to take a couple of weeks have forced Caltrans to temporarily close a section of Highway 140 near Briceburg in Mariposa County. Caltrans reports that it has initiated an “Emergency Director’s Order to safely clear the slide, stabilize the slope, and make necessary road repairs.” State road officials added that the highway will remain closed until the slope can be “stabilized enough to safely allow traffic to pass through the area.”
The roadway is closed from the Bug Hostel to Cedar Lodge between Midpines and El Portal. Caltrans advises that it is expected to remain closed for approximately 1-2 weeks. Motorists can still access Yosemite National Park via Highway 120 in the west or Highway 41 in the south.
Im going tomorrow there might be snow but Idk how to really put on tire chains and do they have tire chain rentals and can they install them?
www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/conditions.htm
I don’t think you will need them tomorrow- this is a warm storm.
The mariposa el portal route on 140 avoids high country snow.
So, the queation is:is this typical for this time of year? We are planning to visit the middle of May. Fingers crossed road will be open.
May should be very mild. Snow is common Nov till Apr. the falls should be roaring in May.
Weather in May is usually warm during the day but cold overnight, with average highs in Yosemite Valley in the 70s and lows in the 40s. While rain and snow are possible, they're not very common.
@@NedVenture Thank you for speedy response. Great video. There will be 7 of us visiting. We are considering renting a RV.

Do you need to reserve or anything to get in there?
NOT this year. Except for some special event in February.

Not as much snow as I thought it would have. It was whiter when i visited a few weeks ago

Caltrans advised that “clean up on the slide is ahead of schedule,” as this past Sunday crews began hauling material away from the site. They added that barring any setbacks, one-way traffic control will be in place from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, beginning Tuesday, Jan. 24, until both lanes of the highway are fully reopened. Caltrans warns that travelers “should expect extended delays.”
