  Bear canisters and food lockers

  1 Oca – 31 AraKapanışlar

  Nothing with a smell may be left in a car overnight and backcountry trips carry an approved canister. Rangers ticket for it, and bears open cars in the valley car parks most summers anyway. Kaynak ↗

  Horsetail Fall at sunset

  8–27 Şub · geneldeKaranlık gökyüzü sezonuKalabalık

  For about two weeks in mid-February the last sun hits Horsetail Fall and the water glows orange for ten minutes. It needs water in the fall and a clear western horizon, so it fails as often as it works. Kaynak ↗

  Dogwood in the valley

  15 Nis – 20 May · geneldeKır çiçekleri ve çiçeklenme

  The Pacific dogwoods flower white through the valley floor forest for a few weeks from mid-April, at the same time as the waterfalls are loudest and the high country is still shut. Kaynak ↗

  Waterfalls at full flow

  15 Nis – 15 Haz · geneldeYüksek su

  Snowmelt peaks in May and Yosemite Falls runs hard enough to soak the Lower Fall bridge. By August it is often a stain on the rock, so the falls are a spring trip, not a summer one.

Kalabalık — Memorial Day weekend

• Açılış

  Tioga and Glacier Point roads open

  10 May – 10 Kas · geneldePatika sezonu

  The two high roads are ploughed open between early May and early July depending on the snowpack, and shut again with the first serious storm in autumn. Tuolumne Meadows and Glacier Point are unreachable by car outside that window. Kaynak ↗

• Kural

  Half Dome cable permits

  20 May – 15 Eki · geneldeErken rezervasyonKapanışlar

  The cables go up for the summer and the climb needs a permit, won in a March lottery or one of the daily draws two days out. Without one the hike stops at the base of the subdome. Kaynak ↗

  Memorial Day weekend

  23–25 MayResmî tatilKalabalıkErken rezervasyon

  Memorial Day, the last Monday of May, opens the summer travel season: over the long weekend campsites and lodging book out, roads are slow, and parking at the most popular spots fills early in the day. Kaynak ↗

  Summer peak

  15 Haz – 25 AğuOkul tatilleriKalabalıkErken rezervasyon

  The valley takes most of the park's four million annual visits in ten weeks. Campsites and valley lodging are booked the day they release, and the shuttle queue is the real bottleneck. Kaynak ↗

  Tuolumne Meadows in flower

  1 Tem – 10 Ağu · geneldeKır çiçekleri ve çiçeklenme

  The subalpine meadows at 2,600 metres flower for about six weeks once Tioga Road opens, and the mosquitoes peak with them. Late July is the compromise.

• Risk

  Wildfire smoke

  15 Tem – 30 Eyl · geneldeDuman sezonuKapanışlar

  Late-summer fires in and around the Sierra fill the valley with smoke that sits between the walls for days. Prescribed burns in autumn do a milder version of the same thing. Kaynak ↗

  Labor Day, the first Monday of September, is the last big getaway of summer: the long weekend books out campsites and lodging and fills parking early, and families thin out quickly once it has passed. Kaynak ↗

  Autumn colour in the valley

  10 Eki – 15 Kas · genelde

  Black oak and dogwood on the valley floor turn through late October and the aspen along Tioga go earlier and higher. The falls are at their thinnest at the same time, which is the trade. Kaynak ↗

  15 Ara – 20 Mar · geneldeKayak sezonu

  The park's own small ski area runs when the snow allows, the Curry Village rink is open under the walls, and the valley is as quiet as it ever gets. Chains are a legal requirement on the way in. Kaynak ↗
