Yosemite is a pita anyway...
There's so much other stuff around it that provides much less stress like Sequoia NP to the south.
Yosemite valley is OK for a day trip or backpacking, but I wouldn't plan to stay in the valley.
The frigging crowds during the tourist season are tremendous and ruins the experience.
The DW and I have tent camped and hiked all over Yosemite, heck we even spent a nite in the Ahwahnee.
It's a fantastic place it's just so dang busy now...plus don't forget the Rim fire trashed a lot of the surrounding area.
We are planning to go in May, before the crowds arrive.
Before the crowds arrive? There's 40 million people in California, the crowds are always there, tons of retired folks with toys to haul up there, any time of year. In essence, Yosemite is always crowded.
I would think that there are some times more crowded than others...with summer being the most crowded.
