Landscape / Re: Yosemite in the wintertime

@ CarlTN: "24 hours huh? Good to know. They need to have some 24 hour parks over here. Of course, my state isn't $100+ billion in debt yet...like CA is. Not sure how the funding is divided up regarding Yosemite, though."
Yosemite is a National Park - not a California State park - so I don't think California's budget problems are having any direct impact on the park. How the federal government's budget problems will affect the National Park system remains to be seen. Also, I might be mistaken, but although Yosemite is "open" 24 hours a day for those who are staying/camping there, I'm not sure about the ability of someone to enter the park after hours and leave during the night; that is, I'm not sure that there is an entrance booth that is manned throughout the night, or that there's an alternative place to check in during the night. However, if you're checked in during the day, you can wander around freely throughout the night (subject to the bears, of course!).
