Looking to Avoid Yosemite Crowds? Check Out These Alternate Hikes, Campsites and Destinations

About this episode

Visitors to Yosemite National Park are reporting huge summer crowds and nearly impossible parking, which are the result of federal staffing cuts and the elimination of the park’s entry reservation system. We’ll dig into the cause and impact of the changes at Yosemite and discuss where else in California you can find peak outdoor experiences. Guests: Sarah Wright, outdoors engagement reporter, KQED Peter Ostroskie, staff park and recreation specialist, Bay Area District, California State Parks Learn more about your ad choices.
