Pros: It's a national park for a reason!
Cons: Boy, was it crowded and expensive.
Summary: 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: Beauty everywhere, wildlife, amazing hikes, gentle walks.
Cons: Can be crowded depending on what time of year you are there. No nightlife.
Summary: Yosemite Natl. Park is one glorious spectical after another. From the grand waterfalls to the beautful fields full of flowers and wildlife, this is the place to go for serenity, peace and quiet. It's a fabulous place for all to see, from those ...

Pros: Pretty views, where ever you are in the park.
Cons: Very Crowded, roads are very curvy.
Summary: We planned on visiting Yosemite last year. The day before we flew to California, a wild fire had begun outside of the park in late July 2008. We were lucky since we planned on visited later on in our trip and the smoke did not obstruct our views of any ...

Pros: The views, the wildlife, the changing seasons.
Cons: It is taken over by a negligent company, Delaware North Companies.
Summary: I lived here for a year and I know. This park has so many hidden secrets that are just waiting to be discovered. I have explored the Indian caves and bathed in the hot springs. There are boxes with letters from hikers on some of the least traveled peaks ...

Pros: Awesome
Cons: None
Summary: There were many highlights of my recent California tour, but I think I am like many people in that these tall trees have a particular fascination. The Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is towards the South entry to Yosemite National Park (highway 41) and ...

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.
Summary: 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 ...

Pros: Incomparable scenery
Cons: too many people; WAY too commercialized.
Summary: 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 ...

Cons: lot 2 see& lot of people weather,tourist CENTRAL-
Summary: My husband and I travelled to Y.N.P in August of 2004. We had began a summer ritual of visiting 3 or 4 national parks while trying to learn more about the terrific country we live in. This park is my all time favorite. The landscape as well as the ...

Pros: One of America's most beautiful parks; golf right at your door step
Cons: The hotel
Summary: We normally stay in the valley, but didn't plan ahead this year (get reservations at least 6-months ahead of time!), and decided that staying at the Wawona would be better than not going to Yosemite at all. Bad decision. If you have little kids, please ...

Pros: Incredibly breathtaking. I almost feel like I can die happily.
Cons: A lot of nail-biting driving required -- but it is worth it!
Summary: "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: Some scenery seen no where else in the world.
Cons: The crowds.
Summary: 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: Location and BBQ Grill
Cons: Extremely out of date.
Summary: My boyfriend and I spent a week at Yosemite in August 2004. We decided that we wanted to stay in a condo so that we didn't have to worry about eating out the entire trip. Unfortunately when we got to our condo at Yosemite West - Four Seasons, we were ...

Pros: Wildlife, scenery, access, Ahwanhnee Hotal, waterfalls.
Cons: none......except you can't live there year around.
Summary: Yosemite is by far and away the best national park in the United States. I was there for a wedding a few years ago and had the best time. There is no better blend of scenery, fun, and just plain adventure opportunities out there. And having a ...

Pros: Scenic trails and its biodiversity
Cons: Long lines up Half-Dome
Summary: 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 ...
