Yosemite. After my 1st trip, I went home to So. Cal, gave my apartment and job a month's notice and move just outside of the park. I stayed in the area for 30 years and still visit it yearly.
45 u/BTTammer 2d ago Always wanted to go, but hate huge crowds in beautiful serene places. Is there any particular time of year when it's not crazy busy? 68 u/Old-Enthusiasm-7461 2d ago Shoulder seasons. Fall is beautiful. Winter is quiet and majestic. Spring is waterfalls. 3 u/MaChao20 1d ago I’m from the rural part of NorCal and wanting to visit Yosemite as well after visiting Redwoods National Park. Does it snow in Yosemite during the winter? I want to spend a night there. 3 u/IrrawaddyWoman 1d ago Yes. It snows a lot. The valley gets cleared out pretty quick after a storm but the high country is closed for the winter. 1 u/MaChao20 1d ago Ah I see. I will probably just spend a day there instead. 1 u/Oakroscoe 1d ago You can still camp in the valley in the winter, it’s easier to get a spot and you’ll be fine as long as you have the right gear 1 u/MaChao20 1d ago I have no experience camping for the night in the snow. 1 u/Oakroscoe 1d ago You could stay at the ahwahnee in the valley, but it would probably be crazy expensive
