I’m keeping an eye on road closures mentioned on their site, so the itinerary will be fluid. Thinking Thurs-Sunday explore and by Sun night be in SFO by 6PM. We’d be leaving Menlo Park area very early Thursday to head over to possibly Yosemite. How are the conditions around that time? Is one day in Yosemite enough to get an idea for the park?

Hey guys, visiting from the UK. Had this trip planned for around 6 months, I arrived a day ago and just saw that through was closed and the YARTS buses aren’t running. I have no car and was relying on public transport to get into Yosemite. I am stuck at the bug hostel, just wanted to ask here what my options are. As far as I can see there isn’t any way to get into Yosemite via public transport. I am here till Wednesday, any suggestions would be super appreciated.

I’ll be in the valley this weekend and I wanted to try snowshoeing. Unfortunately it looks like Badger Pass is closed. Does anyone know if there are open snowshoe trails right now? And if so, can I rent snowshoes anywhere? submitted by /u/Kyler-boi [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Planning a trip for the last week of June. Arriving at Yosemite on Saturday Afternoon. We we want to stop and explore Kings Canyon/Sequoia a little as well. I need to be in LA by Thursday night or Early Friday Morning. My current plan was: Sat - Arrive at Yos. Sun - yos. Mon -Yos Tues - Yosemite until Afternoon, then Drive to KC/Seq. Wed- KC/Seq. Thurs - KC/Seq. Drive to LA in the Afternoon. Are there good hikes in Sequoia? would you just stay at Yosemite longer? First time at either park.
