    Good morning sir and ya’ll. Don’t know why I’m telling you but we just lost my wife’s father. The infinite wisdom and stories he could recall were incredible, even to his last day. Thank u sir for taking the pain away, even if it’s temporary. Many thanks and much respect. RIP Mr John W Green. You’re sadly missed!!!

    I was 19 and went to work with my future brother in law. We did a tile job on the 3rd floor of the Ahwahanne in 1993. The views were amazing! Out door ice rinks were fun and the raccoons not so much. I knew the famous and rich stayed there but back then didn’t know who.
    Presidents and their interns…..

    Having visited Yosemite Valley many times as a youngster with my parents, going to see my uncle as he worked for the park service, sometimes in the valley, sometimes in San Francisco. We had the opportunity to stay, once in the Rangers' Club, once in the house of Ansel and Virginia Adams behind the Ansel Adams Gallery (once called Best Studio as it was owned by Virginia Best, future wife of Ansel). Years later, I lived and worked in the valley for the then concessionaire, Yosemite Park & Curry Co. When Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip visited, I and other mid level managers were required to gather outside the chapel when they and their entourage attended services. Once, when business was slow, I was required to temporarily work in the grocery store's gift shop (which I was not happy about) only to find, one day, an elderly man entered who I immediately recognized, Ansel Adams. We had a pleasant talk for about 15 minutes; he very much remembered my uncle. It turned out this was his last trip to the valley, he coming to see the flowering of the dogwoods.
    Thank you, Jeff and Sarah for the wonderful video that brought back so many memories!

By the way, if you do visit, you have to get reservations during the peak season but we were able to get a pass for memorial weekend when I booked it two months out, so it’s not difficult to get reservations.

    The part mentioning Overhang Rock --- All the influencers falling off mountainsides to their deaths in recent years... might be a good time to reinstate that old sign in that photo "There's a difference between bravery and just plain ordinary foolishness". It's pretty comical sometimes reading the "I said what I said" tone of vintage writings lol. The bit about Ansel Adams at the end was pretty cool. I've known about his work all my life, but I don't think I've ever seen footage of him speaking before.

    Absolutely beautiful Park! Thank you for the tour Jeff and Sarah. I've been there many times - recently riding my Harley through going over to Mono Lake. Back in my youth in 1991, a group of us from church climbed the backside of Half Dome going up those terrifying cables. I had carabiners on my harness that I moved from pole to pole until we got up to the top where we threw a football around! We were watching a disabled claimer hoisting his way up the face of the monolith and we took pictures like Sarah likes to take. Appreciate all you do and we'll see you next Sunday!

    We went twice as a corporate group...dinner at the Awahnee and we stayed at the Wawona Hotel and a private rental the second time.
    I remember having lunch on a rock after we hiked one year but I was asked to accompany a woman who fell ill...turned out blocked bowel. We sat in the Awahnee and had another bite while waiting for others.
    Anyway, group picture in front of the fireplace and I will say, I have had the experience.

    I was eight years old when I first went to the park. That was in 1958. At that time, we were able to play in the water, don't remember what part of the park. Why I remember, my brother and I were throwing rocks and I got hit in the head. Needless to say, we didn't get to play in the water anymore that day.

    Visited Yosemite in Oct 2010. Attendance in the park was nicely light. I just parked my VW in a public lot and toured the whole park on my trail bike. The Ahwahnee was spectacular! There was a fire in the fireplace and I sat on one of the seats inside the huge hearth to warm up. Didn't do any climbing due to a lack of time. I did see several rock climbers half way up Half Dome, though; amazing!

It is hard to put it all in perspective and fully realize the size of El Capitan, Half Dome and Clouds' Rest!

      Guess people don't care about living. But I do read the signs and heed the warnings. Those people should be arrested.

    You made a mistake . back in the time of JFK it was Army 1 and not Marine, as the Army air corp ran the helicopter service for the president. great video

      Oh darn. I did not know that! Thanks for letting me know! That chopper looked the same as the one when I saw Jimmy Carter fly from Modesto to Merced in 1980!

    My family and I were there in 1962 when JFK was there. We joined a lot of people and lined the road as his motorcade left the park. I have some 8mm film my father shot that day. What an incredible memory. I've since been to the Ahwahnee hotel couple of times. It's always a wonderful experience. And now I know why the firefall was delayed. :-)

    Breathtaking scenery as Mother Nature never disappoints. Sarah is dangerously close to the edge as she seems to enjoy tempting fate...that was certainly harrowing.

    What a FABULOUS HH "fix" for my week Jeff & Sarah!!! LOVE Yosemite, although it's quite the nightmare getting in there anymore with all the population explosion. It was a nothing trip up to about 20 yrs ago, then the crowds started...Oh well, progress I suppose, although not in my book! ~Chris

      @@jbenziggy There are actually quite a number of hostelries and B's & B's along the 140, leading into The Park, starting at about Hite's Cove, so it actually could be any one of those whom our commentator mentioned. I still get sinister chills up my spine, when I think of the Cedar Lodge/Cary Stayner connection.
