Q8. We’re a week into spring in the Sierra, the season celebrated for waterfalls and (low-elevation) wildflowers. Every month has its merits – what’s your favorite time of year to be in #Yosemite, & why? #ParkChat

A8) I'm going to say May, because that is when we are making our first visit! ;) Honestly, I like visiting parks in fall and spring to avoid the biggest crowds. #parkchat https://t.co/HCOOrdzAwo

A8: We’ll put in a plug for winter (and for having a safe, enjoyable experience when it's cold and snowy: https://t.co/LqNfcH259v) #ParkChat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8) I was only able to visit in the summer, but I think I would love to see Yosemite in the fall. #ParkChat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8 #ParkChat I’ve only visited in the middle of summer. I’d love to visit Yosemite in January when the valley is covered in snow.

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8 We visited in late spring, early summer after a good snow season. The falls were booming. It was stunningly beautiful. #ParkChat

A8. I have lovely memories of being there in winter. Snow on the sequoias, pine-infused cold air. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8. #Parkchat I would love to visit #Yosemite in the fall or Winter to take night photos, preferably see a good meteor shower .

A8: Autumn’s not too shabby. Here’s our resident naturalist on fall beauty in the park: https://t.co/RiyqRZyRbP #ParkChat


A8. Although the waterfalls weren’t in their full glory, October was fantastic. We were also in the Valley June 2011. The waterfalls were just insane. Suspect similar run off this year. #parkchat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8) Mid May when the waterfalls are going nearly full force, the meadows are a vibrant green and the crowds are at home waiting for Memorial Day weekend to begin in a couple weeks. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8: Still trying to get there for the first time. 😭 #ParkChat

A8: And in summer you can stop by the Ask a Climber program in El Cap meadow, hang out at Tenaya Lake, enjoy the cool-but-not-too-cold temps in the high country ... #ParkChat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8: I would love to see Yosemite in the Fall. The weather, the foliage, lack of people would make it a very fun time for me #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8) We went in summer and would probably pick any other season for a return trip just to escape some of the crowds, traffic, etc. #ParkChat


A8 I've always thought of @YosemiteNPS as a spring park, the REAL beginning of the year #parkchat

A8. Being in @YosemiteNPS in spring for a late snowstorm presented some challenges, but also made for a stunning setting. #parkchat


replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A8 I’ve only visited in mid October and thought the weather was perfect...just crowded bc it was a holiday weekend. Leaves we’re changing it was beautiful #ParkChat
