One TV show that I was watching, the guy asked a ranger "What should I do if I only have 2 hours to visit Yosemite"
The ranger answered "Go out in that field and cry".
Anyone not willing to spend more than a few hours in such a wonderful place should be crying - because their priorities are all messed up!
I spent a week in Yosemite Valley once, and wished I could stay another couple of days! Many times I had to stay outside the park, the reservation system is all messed up, and they tend to 'sell out' only a few minutes after allowing applications for the campsites on first come first served basis.
They need more campsites, but have people who try to prevent things like installing 120 volt power to the campsites, so that RV's will not need to run a generator.
The campsites are to close to the river, and tend to get underwater when the river floods. Even if the RV campgrounds are just outside the current border, due to their being cliffs adjacent to the valley entrance, the National Park needs hundreds more campsites!
