Thanks winter rangers. Power and phones out AGAIN for the season...by Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
So, I did take 140 in through the Arch Rock entrance last Friday. On the way we came across a temporary one-way bridge that lets the traffic get around a rock slide. Pretty amazing looking. How long ago did that happen? We had to wait 10-15 minutes in each direction. I imagine that stretches out substantially in the summer traffic. I really liked the 140 route, but would not be sure it would be aby Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Where can I find this type of information? I will be driving up on Friday and would like to be able to check these conditions in real time. Thanks for any help.by Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Have never been to Yose in the winter months. Given the fact there are still peoplel in the valley with potential food sources, do bears and other wildlife continue to hang around Curry and the valley environs during winter... I know the bears should be sleeping, but with the warm winter, and food probably available, was wondering if that changes Mother Natures plans.by Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

I have a heated tent rental in the Valley next month. Too good a deal to pass up. What are the food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the winter?by Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Quotedolphin That's good to know - wildflowers follow mosquitos - just back from HSCs and only ran into a bit of a mosquito problem near Cathderal Lakes. Wildflowers are on full display. Which camps?by Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
"Most people in those camps are out of shape. But than again, so are most Americans. And that is just an unfortunate fact. Personally, we have mixed feeling on them. While we generally try to stay as far away from them as possible..." Really? And you know this how? From staying as far away from the camps as possible? I completely agree with your statement regarding Americans in generby Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Wow 2. I have been to all of the camps many times and have never seen anyone that has hiked in that I would consider "out of shape." And even if that were true, what matter is it or concern of anyone else? Now, for some of the folks I see sitting on the mules with roll-aboard luggage... no comment The important thing is that they are OUT THERE taking in all the beauty, and not sittingby Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Many, many people enjoy the HSCs and would not see the High Country any other way. I like the camps, and I like backpacking in tents also. I am not sure why anyone would think these camps have to "go away." That is a really terrible thought, in my opinion. Yes they are expensive, but that is not a reason to wish that they be closed. I have met some amazing people, enjoyed stimulating cby Paris92 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
