>>1145888Yeah, but Yosemite is almost inaccessible that time of year. Besides, my opinion is my opinion, it's not a meme. I went to Yosemite and fucking hated it. The whole valley floor is paved, you're stuck in traffic and looking for parking for a long time, and even though it's stunning, I just think that unless you have a specific hike or climb in mind you want to do, it's not worth the trip. I'd sooner do the Lost Coast, Shasta-Trinity Wilderness, Lava Beds National Monument caves, Crater Lake, Central Oregon... fuck, I think Smith Rock is a better experience than Yosemite.
I suggested he do the north rim of the Grand Canyon to avoid the crowds. You can do Yosemite and avoid the valley, but... meh, up to him. I think it's a bit overplayed, and if you're going to BC, Wyoming, etc. then you can see the same majestic environment WITHOUT thousands of cars, pollution, noise, crowds, etc. Why bother? The place was jewed. There is a supermarket at the base of Half Dome.
