Their are a lot of very long stretches of downgrades In Yosemite. The worst of which would have to be the road down from Glacier Point. When you are traveling down that and other long hills you may want to downshift. The continual use of your brakes could very easily render them useless.

You can't help but feel tiny when visiting Yosemite. The surrounding rock faces and sheer size of the park account for that meager feeling. The vastness will certainly be an amazing feeling but a few problems arise from it. 1. With everything so far away (30-40 miles from park entrance) it will take you a long time to travel from place to place. The trip to Glacier Point from the valley floor for an example is an hour each way. The idea here is to give yourself a lot of time. 2. Unless you have a very fuel efficient car you will use more than half a tank of gas in the park. The main problem here is that their were only two gas stations in the park. Both near entrances and the gas at them was priced about a dollar higher than the current gas prices elsewhere, so try to fill up before you enter.

It seems like you had awe-inspiring views everywhere you went in Yosemite NP! Trust you to find your own trail to the waterfalls! | Escadora7 Fri Sep 22, 2006 06:11 UTC
AMAZING information and gorgeous pictures on the Yosemite National Park. I had to click on each one to view them large sized. Really appreciate the useful tips! Will use them in the next couple months for sure. ~Eve n Ash | chewy3326 Fri Aug 4, 2006 10:34 UTC
Great page; I never knew there was a pool at the base of Bridalveil Fall, have to go back and check that out someday. You should revisit Yosemite in spring, the waterfalls are amazing. | Daja123 Fri Jan 21, 2005 21:33 UTC
Great page, Colin. I enjoy looking to your beautiful photos. Well done. |
