They show the elevation of Yosemite Valley as 4,759 feet above sea level, yet I've always read that the valley is at 4,000 feet. Where is their weather station located if it is at 4,759 feet?

I was just following Len's lead...
Possible showers coming into the Valley weatherwise... there's your showers...
But... why worry about the weather... just head up the Mist Trail

Ok thanks... it's just a curiosity how they arrived at 4.759 feet... maybe their weather station is situated on a rock somewhere above the valley rather than the valley floor. I guess an elevation difference of 759 feet will only make a difference of a degree or two in temperature, but the microclimate of exactly where the station is located could make a difference (sunnier or shadier or windier than say the Visitor's Center, etc.)

There's only one showerhouse there (that I know of) still functioning since the rockslide last year. The showers themselves, including a small changing area, are private and curtained. I've never used them in summer, but try to figure out a time when folks are least likely to be taking a shower, unless you like standing in line. Just after checkout time, early afternoon, maybe at dinnertime, might work better than at, say, 4:30 PM or 8 AM.Quote

btw, are they private? or do you have to shower in the same room as anyone?

Last year someone posted that they were charging $5, which would be outrageous but I've never been asked to pay. I suppose if you want to use their towels and inquire at the desk you may have to pay (?).

They still have those same coin-op showers at Lodgepole in Sequoia? I used those on a trip in Oct. 1993 and you had to keep putting in quarter after quarter to keep it going. But on a morning when it was 30 degrees the hot shower was almost an erotic experience.

Thanks, If it was $5 at Curry, then it's $5 at Housekeeping still as well. I agree, $5 is a bit much. I've found it to be hit and miss as to when there's an attendant on duty, at least in the Fall.

Just to clarify, if you stay in Curry or Housekeeping, the showers are free and included in the price of your accommodations.
You're supposed to show your room key or whatever to the attendant to be allowed free admittance, but this is sometimes laxly enforced as you discovered ("no one checked if we belonged there" ) based on the enthusiasm level (or lack there of) of the attendant on duty.
Only us 'lowly' campers are the ones who are supposed to pay the $5 shower fee.
