What is Food?
"Food" includes any item with a scent, regardless of packaging. This may include items that you do not consider food, such as canned goods, bottles, drinks, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries, trash, ice chests (even when empty), and unwashed items used for preparing or eating meals. All these items must be stored properly.

How to Store Your Food...

In your car
You may store food inside your car (out of sight, with windows completely closed) only during daylight hours. Do not store food in your car after dark: use a food locker. Remember to clear your car of food wrappers, crumbs in baby seats, and baby wipes. Even canned food and drinks must be removed from your car.

Food lockers are available at Curry Village parking lots and at nearly all trailhead parking areas.

Bears can easily break into tent-cabins and tents for food. Never keep food, drinks, toiletries, or trash in your tent or tent-cabin.




In campgrounds, Housekeeping Camp, and Curry Village tent cabins
You must store all your food in food lockers. Bears may enter campsites even in your presence (see photo above), and some will even check lockers to see if they’re latched.

  • Keep your locker closed and latched at all times, just like you would a freezer.

  • Only have the food out that you are actually using; if you're not using it, put it back into the food locker.

  • Finally, treat your trash like food: keep it in your food locker or dispose of it in a bear-proof dumpster; do not leave it sitting out.

Food lockers are available at every campsite, Housekeeping unit, and Curry Village tent cabin.

Food may be stored out of sight in hard-sided trailers and RVs, as long as windows, doors, and vents are closed when you're not there. Food may not be stored in pop-up or tent trailers, or other soft-sided campers.



In your hotel room or cabin
You must keep all food inside your room; if you are not in the room, the windows and doors must be closed. Bears can easily break into cabins through an open door or open window.

In picnic areas and on the trail
Always keep your food within arm's reach and don't turn your back to your food; never leave food unattended. Bears may investigate picnic areas or backpacks for food even in your presence, so be alert.

While backpacking in the Wilderness
Bear resistant food containers ("bear canisters") are required for overnight hikers throughtout the Wilderness (counterbalance food hangs are no longer legal). In Yosemite and the southern Sierra, bear canisters are the only effective and proven method of preventing bears from getting human food. Read more...

Did You Know?
Black bears in Yosemite are active both day and night. Most bears that rely on natural food sources are active during the day. However, those that get food from people are often active at night, when they can quietly sneak around and grab unattended food.

What to Do if You See a Bear



















http://www.nps.gov/pwr/templates/images/graphics/spacer.gif

Don't let this happen: never let a bear approach you.




You may not see a bear during your visit because bears naturally avoid people. If you do see a bear, what you should do depends on the situation. In any case, always let a ranger know or leave a message at 209/372-0322.

If you are in a developed area (e.g., campground, parking lot, lodging area) or if a bear approaches you, act immediately to scare it away: make as much noise as possible by yelling very loudly (don't worry about waking people up if it's nighttime). If you are with other people, stand together to present a more intimidating figure, but do not surround the bear.

The intent is not to harm the bear, but to scare it from the area and restore its natural fear of people by providing a negative experience.



If you see a bear anywhere else, keep your distance (at least 50 yards, or about the distance four shuttle buses parked end to end would take up). If you get closer, you will be helping the bear become used to being around people.

Bears that become comfortable around people lose their natural fear of us and sometimes become too aggressive; sometimes they then have to be killed.

When a ranger sees a bear, the ranger may use non-lethal aversive tactics to chase the bear out of a developed area. During your overnight stay, expect to see and hear rangers patrolling public areas for bears. You may hear rangers yelling at and chasing bears. You may also see or hear rangers shooting noisemakers or non-lethal projectiles (such as rubber slugs from a shotgun or clear paintballs from a paintball gun). The intent is not to harm the bear, but to scare it from the area and restore its natural fear of people by providing a negative experience.

NOTE: These regulations and precautions help decrease the chance of personal injury or property damage. However, bear damage and confrontations are still possible even when all of the above guidelines are followed. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in citation and/or impoundment of property.

Yosemite National Park

Chain Controls









chain controls includes:

Tire Chains

http://www.nps.gov/pwr/customcf/apps/cms_menu2/graphics/spacer.gif




 













http://www.nps.gov/pwr/templates/images/graphics/spacer.gif

Snowy or icy road conditions are common in Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada from fall through spring. When these conditions exist, federal regulations (in Yosemite) and state law (outside Yosemite) require that you use chains or cables in order to reduce the chances of accidents. Chain requirements are strictly enforced.

When do I have to use chains?
You must have tire chains or cables in your possession when entering a designated chain control area, even if you're driving a four-wheel drive or rental vehicle. (Designation is by a sign that says, "CHAINS REQUIRED.") Conditions dictate when chains are required, therefore, it's not possible to predict if chains will be required ahead of time. You should have chains when visiting Yosemite from November through March (chain requirements may be in place on occasion as early as September or as late as May).

Within a designated chain control area, you must use chains or cables on your car's drive wheels when the chain control sign does not exempt your car. Even if your car is exempt, you must have chains or cables in your possession.



 

chains required - autos & pickups with snow tires ok

R-1




This means...

You must put chains on the drive wheels of your car unless:



  • You are driving a car, pickup truck, or SUV weighing less than 6,000 pounds
    AND

  • Your car has snow tires installed. Mud and snow tires qualify as snow tires (look for "m+s" or similar designation on the wall of the tire), as long as the tread is still 6/32 of an inch deep or deeper.

 

chains required - 4w drive with snow tires ok

R-2




This means...

You must put chains on the drive wheels of your car unless:



  • You are driving a car, pickup truck, or SUV weighing less than 6,500 pounds
    AND

  • Your car has snow tires installed on all four wheels
    AND

  • Your car has four-wheel or all-wheel drive engaged.

 

chains required - no exceptions

R-3




This means...

You must put chains on the drive wheels of your car (two wheels of a four-wheel drive vehicle)--NO exceptions.



 

When you encounter a chain control sign that indicates that your car is not exempt (i.e., that you have to put on chains), pull completely off the road into the turnout and put on your chains. Chain control signs are at locations where putting on chains is relatively safe: put your chains on there, not further down the road.

Just because you have chains or four-wheel drive doesn't mean driving in snow is easy. Even park residents who regularly commute on park roads during winter are involved in snow-related accidents. Follow these tips to reduce your chances of an accident.

The speed limit within chain control areas is 25 mph, even if other signs indicate the speed limit is higher.


And if I don't put on chains?

You will be subject to a citation (up to $5,000) if you fail to put on chains when required. Further, if you don't have chains with you, you may have to call a tow truck to supply chains for you (this could cost up to a few hundred dollars and is not covered by AAA; the wait can be several hours).

Countless accidents are caused by motorists who lose control because they don't have chains, and many of those drivers have winter driving experience. Don't be responsible for injuring someone, damaging vehicles, or inconveniencing hundreds of other park visitors by causing an accident: use chains when required and drive with caution.














Auto Touring



















http://www.nps.gov/pwr/templates/images/graphics/spacer.gif

All of the roads in Yosemite National Park are scenic, but the most famous scenic drive is along the Tioga Road, a 39-mile (62 km) drive from Crane Flat to Tioga Pass. The road is typically open from late May or early June through sometime in November. (Check  current road conditions.)

The Yosemite Road Guide, available at visitor center bookstores, contains descriptions of each road inside the park and includes suggestions of where to stop along the way.



Some typical driving times from Yosemite Valley:

  • Wawona/Mariposa Grove: about an hour

  • Glacier Point: about an hour

  • Crane Flat: 30 minutes

  • Hodgdon Meadow/Big Oak Flat Entrance: 45 minutes

  • Hetch Hetchy: 1.5 hours

  • Tuolumne Meadows: 1.5 hours

  • Tioga Pass: 1.75 hours

Did You Know?
Yosemite Falls is fed mostly by snowmelt. Peak flow usually happens in late May, but by August, Yosemite Falls is often dry. It begins flowing again a few months later, after winter snows arrive.

Hiking Safety

 










 

http://www.nps.gov/pwr/templates/images/graphics/spacer.gif

One of the best ways to experience Yosemite is by taking a hike. Here are some of hikes available in different areas of Yosemite:

  • Yosemite Valley

  • Glacier Point Road

  • Wawona and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias

  • Hetch Hetchy

  • Tuolumne Meadows

A list of mileages for numerous trails in Yosemite is also available.

 

A few things to remember while hiking:

  • Stay on trails: taking shortcuts causes trail erosion--and is both dangerous and illegal.

  • Carry (and drink) plenty of water: a leading cause of injuries on the trail is dehydration. Be sure to treat river, stream, lake, or spring water.

  • Pets and bicycles are only permitted on bike paths.

  • Horses and mules have the right of way on trails.

  • Pack out what you pack in.

  • Trails are not maintained nor are they regularly patrolled: travel carefully and at your own risk.

  • Smoking while traveling on trails is prohibited, though you may smoke while stopped. (Crush out and dispose of cigarette butts in a trash receptacle.)
