YS:
I like each but for different reasons. In the spring there is more water and the rocks look wet and more (?) steam. In the Fall the elk have the full antlers and the buffalo are also breeding and putting on a display.
The Spring (late May) is colder than Mid-Sept. -- Based on two trips.
In summary, for wildlife go in the Fall -- For the view go in the spring.
Yosemite: GO IN THE SPRING. No other options. The waterfalls will not be have any water in the late summer.
