When did they start checking for permits to climb HD? And when did they start requiring permits? I climbed up the cables in the early '90s and no one asked us for a permit (no one in our party had one). A permit was likely required and we just did it anyway, on a lark. But no one made us turn back, either.by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I have checked Craig's List and can't seem to find anything close. I am not sure I am even looking in the right place, actually. Would you happen to know? Gold Country? Or is their a better category?by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
If there is anyone who knows another source to find vacant residential housing outside the park, please let me know!by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thank you all for the advice. I will not give up. I won't accept that just because I had a child, I can never work the park again.by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
How does one go about finding people renting rooms? I can't seem to find anything at all?by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I figured as much about NPS. I had some email exchanges and found out I am basically out of luck in the housing department, unless I actually get a job as a year-round manager AND there is availability ... AND availability is probably also based on seniority I imagine. I bet it is not that easy to find vacancies that are not vacation rentals outside the park. Even in the towns. Ahhh.

Commuting into the Valley for hours everyday seems like it would be pretty tough.by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I did mean working for the concessionaire. I don't have the experience or skills for NPS. Is there anywhere else to work? While I would love to work in Yosemite Valley (and still have my daughter) it does not look promising does it? What are the towns like nearby and is the job and rental prospect weak? Can a regular person with not a lot of money and normal skills just move there from out of tby mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Thank you for replying! So with a family (it is just me and her actually) would I not be able to rent one of the tent cabins or dorm rooms at the employee rate like everyone else? Do you know approximately what the rental amount is, and does DNC provide them or would I have to find a rental on my own? (Which is next to impossible from where I sit, unless I pay the vacation rental nightly rate.)by mammaseeta - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I used to work in Yosemite Valley about 20 years ago. I would like to return. Does anyone know whether there are any families living in the Valley? I know there is a school and a daycare. Are there any private accommodations in the park for employees? I have a five-year-old. I want to resume a career in Yosemite somehow, but not without my child. Would she be able to come with me?
