A5 I remember a quote from an old @YosemiteNPS ranger who was asked this question. He said, "I'd sit down by the Merced River and cry." I think that's a good answer #parkchat

@YoseConservancy A5: Hike the Panorama Trail, soak in the views for as long as time allowed.
And I may do just that this July before our #ParkChat meetup just down in SEKI

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5 I can't fathom having only a few hours, but I would see what I could in the valley. #ParkChat

A5: We asked #Yosemite fans a similar question a couple of years ago – see what they (& John Muir) suggested: https://t.co/95yJ7yYFv9 (And yes, someone said "sit down and cry.") #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) That's a question Id have to think about for too long to answer here, but I can say it's what we dont have enough of. #Parkchat,

A5. I like this. I'm going with it, too. Although I'd probably cry while hiking, because I like to see parks on foot. #ParkChat https://t.co/kE78zGjp1W

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A3 Perhaps a bit odd, but I found Death in Yosemite interesting 😬 #ParkChat

replying to @DryTortugasFilm @DryTortugasFilm @YoseConservancy We would Glacier Point at Sunset, but that means you have to make a return visit to the Valley. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5 I have never been to @YosemiteNPS so I would check in with @t_jh2009 and get his recommendations when planning a trip. #parkchat (All you guys too. I'm taking notes!)

This is a great list! Does #ParkChat have any children's book recommendations featuring @RockyNPS, @BandelierNPS, or @VallesCaldera ? (We just might have special occasion to read some such books to our kids over the next couple months...) https://t.co/c9IKrZbp7N

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5) Let's see, I'd make a quick stop at Tunnel View to check out the valley before heading up to Washburn Point for the first part of lunch, come back to the valley to Sentinel Bridge to see Half Dome & Yosemite Falls & finish lunch at Valley View. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy @Wild_Tribute I’d go back to mirror lake with @brian_heyman - it’s so peaceful down there and I can still smell the deep smell of earth. We have memories of planning our life together there, & I’d love to relive that. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5) Drive the valley road and then hike at Tuolumne Grove #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @YoseConservancy Agreed, would spend the entire time taking vigorous mental notes for a return visit #ParkChat

RT @YoseConservancy: Q5. Imagine that you only had a few hours to spend in #Yosemite. Where would you go? What would you do? #ParkChat

Has to be the firefall first, but more broadly speaking, to see the park in snowmelt, when the falls are peaking. Feeling the true power of nature. #ParkChat #Yosemite #NationalPark https://t.co/opX9P8Fkq3

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy If you only have a few hours, to quote a ranger, I’d cry. But you pretty much have to start with the Valley. That just scratches the surface, though. I rarely advise anyone to spend fewer than 3 days. #ParkChat #Yosemite #NationalPark

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5. Not that I'm planning on just a few hours, but I am curious to see the answers here. #parkchat
GPJohnston
replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A5) Been there in that situation, and I would say you have to see the valley and at least do the short hike to Yosemite Falls. #Parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @DryTortugasFilm @YoseConservancy I have to get to Glacier Point on my next visit to @YosemiteNPS. Didn’t plan well enough last visit to get a reservation on the bus from the valley #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A6) It's the one and only time I was able to see sequoias, in Mariposa Grove. They definitely caught my eye! #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A6) Deer, bears, trout, raccoons, coyotes, marmots, squirrels and various types of birds are just some of the wildlife I've observed in Yosemite National Park. #ParkChat
