Thanks for sharing, a very interesting document to read. And it seems to make sense. DNC is no longer doing business in Yosemite, therefore it will be abandoning the usage of the trademarks.

For photography you should definitely get the book by Michael Frye sold in all the gift shops in the park if you don't have time to order before your trip. Amazon link: Photographing Yosemite EDIT: I am surprised to see all the negative reviews, but seems they are mostly about the binding of the book. I have at least two copies of this book and mine never fell apart. For the first time photoby hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Correct me if I am wrong, but you can manipulate the system by reserving 7 days with your first day being the last day available, is that correct? That would remove a whole score of dates immediately before the window even opens.by hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Quoteeeek In 2015, there were 4,097,710 “visits” to Yellowstone National Park, up 16.6% from 2014, making it the highest visitation year on record. The number of “visits” is always greater than the actual number of individuals who came to the park because people may enter and leave the park repeatedly during a stay in the area. 42.5% of the total visitation came into Yellowstone thrby hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Yosemite gets over 4 million visitors a year. There are countless books written. There are hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of people who have made online blogs, special maps and hiking guides. Thousands, or perhaps millions, of photos can be found online of Yosemite. There are many active forums.

If the fall is flowing and the sky to the west is clear all the way to the coast, then it should already be lighting up at sunset. The light changes as the month progresses, some prefer the way it looks earlier, some prefer how it looks later. I got this shot on Feb 11 two years ago.by hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Everyone has covered it, but I will confirm a bear canister is not needed for the type of visitation you describe. I have been going to the park for over 20 years and only one time did I rent a canister, when I went backpacking in the high country. I always bring a cooler stuffed with food and several bags of food and have never had a problem. If you are staying over night, you will be providedby hotrod4x5 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
