Great tour! I loved exploring nature, the shops, and all eating and lodging options. So many different types of recreational opportunities as well. It is crowded with so many people having a wonderful time outdoors.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yosemite implemented their reservation system so it’s limited overcrowding by a ton. Now it’s great to see everyone able to enjoy the valley without cars honking and extremely heavy foot traffic 👍
I’m not much of a desert person but dune buggies in the sand sounds fun. I agree, the eastern sierra’s was magical the last time I went to hike big pine lakes. The last old west day history sounds like a Wild West museum!
@@tommyinsane9932 The Eastern Sierra sets the Old West stage and backdrop for me. Virginia City Nv. Genoa Nv. All thru Bodie Nv. Lotsa great ghost towns and very old Western structures. Also a lot of mining caves and anything else Western you can think of.
Really helpful info to form a mental map of the valley floor and things to do. Great steady camera work - allowed me to see signage details- like for the rafting, the restaurant menus, store offerings.
Tommy, Another beautiful video of one of California’s treasures! I enjoyed this trip with you so much and will be planning a trip to Yosemite soon with my family. Thank you so much for all your hard work showing us all these beautiful destinations!😊
Glacier Point should reopen by then as there’s road reconstruction this year. That’s gonna give you a magnificent view of everything. Thanks for the comment ✌️
Going to Yosemite in Early July. Love your videos, I used your videos to plan a trip to Big Sur back in May, and using your videos once again! I just subscribed. Thank you for the amazing content!😁
Yosemite is one of my all time favorite National parks! Did you know, according to legends of the local Ahwahneechee people, at Yosemite Falls…the base of the pool is haunted by several witches?!!! 🧙♀🧙🧙♀
It’s my favorite as well! Though I’ve only been to 2 others haha. I didn’t know the legend about the base of Yosemite Falls. Kinda spooky because I went there alone once and a nat got in my eye lol so maybe that was the witches messing with me
Very nice video, again and again, Tommy. Very much appreciate the great information and nicely produced. You HIT all the GREAT spots in beautiful California !
Yo! Been there for a week and spend a couple of $$$$ with no regrets! The place was quite and peaceful compared to the cities. I'm now living in the far remote side of this village, paid for a tent and bought stuff for hiking! This place is a bit expensive but at least I've been enjoying my life here than living in LA. 👍🏾
Dude sounds like your having the time of you’re life out there! Glad you were able to get away from LA and enjoy waking up to the sounds of nature, good stuff👌
Glad you finally found Half Dome...... pizza lol. Gotta get out of the valley though unless you have kids or a disability but even then you can explore less shops and lodging. Different strokes for different folks I guess. But hiking to upper Yosemite falls or to Nevada falls via John Muir is quite rewarding. The views along the paths give you more views of the valley than being on the valley floor.
Thanks for amazing video. Thinking of going in early august from 1 day in sfo and then 2 days in yosemite. I see you didn’t cover seqonia and glacier point. Is it possible to cover everthing in 2 days?
Are you referring to Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias? If so you can definitely cover everything in 2 days. I would recommend Mariposa Grove and Glacier Point for a day. Yosemite valley and the rest of Yosemite for another day
Hi, what is the nearest shuttle stop to get to Tunnel View? We plan to go via YARTS to Yosemite Valley, then take the free shuttle around. Looking at their route map, the least far one seems to be El Capitan Meadow, but it seems still kinda far. Is there any bus directly to Tunnel View without your own car?
Thank you for sharing. If I had a week of vacation, 2 days in Yosemite National park, is there big city near by to spend the rest of the week? I am from east coast mid west. Thank you.
Unfortunately all the big cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles) are hours away from Yosemite. But driving to them from Yosemite makes for a fun road trip because of the different views and stops along the way
It’s common to see dogs at the river in Yosemite since there aren’t park rangers there to enforce the rules. The people at 15:14 were doing just that. The only places where I haven’t seen dogs are the popular trail heads
TY so much for the informative video. It's my first time going and the shuttle is ideal for me. Question, Ahwahnee charges $15 to park and walk around for an hour (yes I called and asked), so they didn't charge the bus people to walk around?? Also, your pizza looked delicious but unless I'm blind I think those were banana peppers. 🤣🍕
Ahwahnee is becoming ridiculous. Last year they told me non guest were not allowed to park in their lots but now they’re charging $15 for an hour of parking. This video was recorded about 2 years ago and no, they didn’t charge each person as we got off onto their sacred parking lot just to walk around for an hour. That really would’ve taken it to the next level for unsuspecting non guests. I’m a newbie when it comes figuring the veggies on my pizza hahaha
Yes the shuttle stops at the Mist Trail. Stop 16. You can park at any of the shuttle stops to get around the park. Here’s a link to the map, scroll down www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/publictransportation.htm
www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/publictransportation.htm Scroll down until you see “Getting Around Yosemite”, below should be an infographic for the Yosemite Valley shuttle route and times
Yes stop 1 is near the Village Store. I’ll leave a link below to the shuttle system map with the stops from their official website. It’ll be halfway down the page. www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/publictransportation.htm
This was all done in one day. The shuttles are free. The east shuttles pick up about every 15 mins and the west shuttles about 30 mins. Sometimes it’s shorter or longer as the day goes on. Hope that helps
@@tommyinsane9932 oh wow thanks for the tips, feel free to give me more tips for Yosemite. I try to book the hotel all full booked in there the whole May already
I plan to go to Yosemite soon. My favorite was the Yosemite Falls lower and upper and of course El Capitan. This was a great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Hello. We will be going there 2nd week of April for the first time. Do you suggest bringing an e bike to explore the beauty of Yosemite or just ride the shuttle and walk? Btw, thanks for your great and helpful video.
For your first time, I highly suggest the shuttle and walk over the e-bike. But bring the e-bike and ride at the end of the day. Thank you for watching and hope you have a great time in Yosemite!
Glacier Point will reopen this year after a year closure. Bridalveil Fall will reopen as well after what feels like a decade of being closed. So more to see in 2023 🤓
Great video Tommy! Happy to see all the beauty at Yosemite and the area. My favorite is definitely the falls wow breathtaking 👍 also we have black bears in Tennessee so the brown bear was nice to see take care and will look forward to the next video 😊
The falls is one of the best views in Yosemite! The brown bear was actually a black bear, their fur is brown despite the name. I had to look that up because that would of meant we saw a grizzly bear! Which no longer exist in California sadly. Glad you enjoyed this Turquoise✌️
Hardly any trekking here. Everything you saw was less than a 10 min walk. All buildings are a minute away from the bus, and the scenic views took longer but no more than 10 mins
The shuttles are saving Yosemite. Use them please. I've lived within 20 miles from here for over 22 years now. I could never leave this place. I was born and raised in Oklahoma. 😂
The shuttles are a godsend! I also found out there’s a bus service (YARTS) that’ll pickup from the surrounding towns/cities to Yosemite Valley which I want to try. Isn’t Oklahoma all flatlands? That’s a major change of scenery!
@@tommyinsane9932 The YARTS busses are a great ride with all the large windows and much quicker than driving on your own. The drivers do this all day and sometimes you'd be surprised how well they can drive on those crazy roads. The Logging train near Fishcamp is a must! I've never missed Oklahoma.😉😁
That’s it, added to my bucket list, thanks! Are you talking about the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad? That’s on my list too! Not missing Oklahoma doesn’t sound like a surprise at all ha!
Hey! Great tour. We are planning to go to yosemeti next month. Can I know which month did you go for this video? Trying to check the outfit needed for May 😀
Hi… My family and I will be going next year around June 5. Did you also go early June? How were the crowds? Also its our first time going, we are gonna stay in Curry village. We were planning on using rental car, but it looks like using the shuttle it better. Any tips? Thanks
Hey Luz. Here’s a bit of expert advice for first timers. Yosemite has begun implementing an entrance reservation every summer which limits the number of visitors allowed in, if you did not buy an entrance reservation ticket ($2) online you won’t be allowed in. This year’s entrance reservation began on May 20 and ends September 30,2022. These dates will most likely carry onto next year’s entrance reservation dates. So you won’t have to worry much about crowds. As for having your rental car with you at Curry Village, I would suggest using the shuttle instead as it’ll take you to all the major points in Yosemite Valley, which is where you’ll be. The shuttles are free to use, and picks up every 5-10mins. The shuttles stop at 3 popular trails: Lower Yosemite Falls Vernal Falls Mirror Lake There are also many beaches along the Merced River that flows through Yosemite Valley where families will have picnics or go swimming If you have any specific questions let me know and good luck!
Such a helpful vidwo esp for first timers like us. Been trying to learn abt the shuttle in Yosemite for our trip this summer. Btw, how can we get to the El Capital viewing area? Thanks!
Happy you found it helpful. As for the best views of El Capitan, take a bike (free to rent) or car to El Capitan Meadow. Very good area for picnics as well
@@tommyinsane9932 I knowwwww. I have 3 dogs, one of which is elderly and needs care every few hours. It’s hard to find a dog sitter so we’ve yet to go. We are checking out roaring camp (thanks to your video!) for our anniversary in October… and luckily we have a dog sitter ☺️
When I was 3 and they were still doing the Firefall, you would have never believed how crowded the store was packed. My big brother would have to carry me on his shoulders so other tourists wouldn't trample me back then! If you've ever seen "The Caine Mutiny" back then you'd understand!.
I like this place very much. Yeah, There are many beautiful places on this planet and This is one of them. There are big mountains, There are big meadows, There are so many forests and There is a great river. Yeah, The view from the top of those mountains must be very beautiful. Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate all of this. I speak Spanish and I'm learning English. Greetings fron Lima Peru. 🏞️🏞️🇺🇲🇵🇪🦙🤘🙂
Well said. This place has a lot of nature to offer to visitors wanting to relax or to adventure. Your English is great 👍 Hello Lima, Peru. Beautiful city by the ocean 🐚
I gave this a thumbs up. It’s a good video. Would have been great had 8 mins not been spent talking and the store, deli, food and hotel. I appreciate the info but 1-2 min would have been enough. This is one of the greatest nature spectacles in the world I think 8 mins of about 24 is a lot. However, making vids is harder than people think. Thanks for making it. I appreciate the info one it got moving into that direction.
Am i the only one seeing 'The Shining' hotel in that Ahwanee Hotel???The retro furniture and the lobby at @07:30 looks exactly where Jack would do his daily typing!!
Coming back from the lower Yosemite fall to the bus shuttle would one encounter bears? How long does one have to wait for the shuttle bus? Appreciated.
It is possible to encounter bears around lower Yosemite fall. Don’t think it will happen much after seeing the summer crowds this year. The average wait time for the shuttle bus was 15 mins last year. Don’t know what it will be like this year
Great tour! I loved exploring nature, the shops, and all eating and lodging options. So many different types of recreational opportunities as well. It is crowded with so many people having a wonderful time outdoors.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yosemite implemented their reservation system so it’s limited overcrowding by a ton. Now it’s great to see everyone able to enjoy the valley without cars honking and extremely heavy foot traffic 👍
I watched a bunch of Yosemite videos and liked yours the best!! Very help for first timers
Oh wow thanks!! Glad you found it helpful as a first timer ✌️
Tommy great Tour of Yosemite!! Thank you for taking us on your travels. California/Nevada has so much to offer.
Thanks Scott! I’ve only done Lake Tahoe for Nevada, wouldn’t mind doing that again since the weather is warming up!
@@tommyinsane9932 Nevada is cool if you like the desert. Also, the Eastern Sierra's are beautiful. The Old West Day history there is fun to see.
I’m not much of a desert person but dune buggies in the sand sounds fun. I agree, the eastern sierra’s was magical the last time I went to hike big pine lakes. The last old west day history sounds like a Wild West museum!
@@tommyinsane9932 The Eastern Sierra sets the Old West stage and backdrop for me. Virginia City Nv. Genoa Nv. All thru Bodie Nv. Lotsa great ghost towns and very old Western structures. Also a lot of mining caves and anything else Western you can think of.

You did such great a great job 👏 showing this amazing experience. Love it 😍
Thank you Daria! 🙏☀️

Hey Luz. Here’s a bit of expert advice for first timers. Yosemite has begun implementing an entrance reservation every summer which limits the number of visitors allowed in, if you did not buy an entrance reservation ticket ($2) online you won’t be allowed in. This year’s entrance reservation began on May 20 and ends September 30,2022.
These dates will most likely carry onto next year’s entrance reservation dates. So you won’t have to worry much about crowds.
As for having your rental car with you at Curry Village, I would suggest using the shuttle instead as it’ll take you to all the major points in Yosemite Valley, which is where you’ll be. The shuttles are free to use, and picks up every 5-10mins.
The shuttles stop at 3 popular trails:
Lower Yosemite Falls
Vernal Falls
Mirror Lake
There are also many beaches along the Merced River that flows through Yosemite Valley where families will have picnics or go swimming
If you have any specific questions let me know and good luck!
Awesome thank you
Thank you! It’s great to see you sharing another way around Yosemite. 💙🌲
You’re welcome! It’s an added adventure taking the shuttle around versus a car 🚌

I like this place very much. Yeah, There are many beautiful places on this planet and This is one of them. There are big mountains, There are big meadows, There are so many forests and There is a great river. Yeah, The view from the top of those mountains must be very beautiful. Thank you so much for this video, I really appreciate all of this. I speak Spanish and I'm learning English. Greetings fron Lima Peru. 🏞️🏞️🇺🇲🇵🇪🦙🤘🙂
Well said. This place has a lot of nature to offer to visitors wanting to relax or to adventure. Your English is great 👍 Hello Lima, Peru. Beautiful city by the ocean 🐚
I gave this a thumbs up. It’s a good video. Would have been great had 8 mins not been spent talking and the store, deli, food and hotel. I appreciate the info but 1-2 min would have been enough. This is one of the greatest nature spectacles in the world I think 8 mins of about 24 is a lot. However, making vids is harder than people think. Thanks for making it. I appreciate the info one it got moving into that direction.
Appreciate the feedback
Am i the only one seeing 'The Shining' hotel in that Ahwanee Hotel???The retro furniture and the lobby at @07:30 looks exactly where Jack would do his daily typing!!
It does! Maybe that’s why I enjoy coming by this hotel every time I’m in the valley
I loved the bear cub.
Coming back from the lower Yosemite fall to the bus shuttle would one encounter bears? How long does one have to wait for the shuttle bus? Appreciated.
It is possible to encounter bears around lower Yosemite fall. Don’t think it will happen much after seeing the summer crowds this year. The average wait time for the shuttle bus was 15 mins last year. Don’t know what it will be like this year
Thank you for showing how it works! Super helpful
Of course!
How many days or time was spent there? I am trying to plan a day and half to there and was wondering how long it took you do visit those places?
Everything here took one day. Yosemite Valley is pretty small so it’s easy to get around and see a lot
