Memorial Day weekend is when thousand of people congregate to "get away from it all" in our national parks. This especially goes for Yosemite National Park.
The holiday weekend sees people jamming into Yosemite, particularly in Yosemite Valley. So if one is planning on heading there, they'd better plan ahead. Expect a zoo when after getting there!
This is just the topic that an article in the Fresno Bee discusses.
They begin it with:
Yosemite National Park visitors are being urged to plan ahead as park officials expect a busy time for Memorial Day weekend, and Tioga Road remains closed.
Park officials are advising visitors to arrive before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m., and park to vehicles at the day-parking areas in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls or Half Dome Village.
They’re expecting Yosemite Valley parking to fill early as there are limited spaces.
Officials also say visitors use the free bus shuttle service, bike paths or hiking trails after parking. Tioga Road, which crosses through the park, remains closed.
