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

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @YoseConservancy Thanks, Ben. It should be a full day, or a full day plus another half day. Got to see the Valley last time, and game for that again, and especially along some routes that were still closed due to snow. #parkchat

A7 With enough practice, I can transform myself into pure spirit and thereby reduce my physical impact on the park to zero #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

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

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy We’ve only been once and that was in October. Moderate crowds. Great weather. We’d go to @YosemiteNPS again in the Fall. #ParkChat

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

Q9. From ranger walks to kids’ art classes, #Yosemite offers plenty of activities for young visitors. What are your tips for getting kids excited about nature? #ParkChat

#ParkChat friends! Our 2-year-old is obsessed with getting and sending mail. DM if any of you have some extra postcards, photos or anything colorful at all, even just a little note, & want a little junior ranger pen pal to share with. @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @Stars252525

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
