I lived on the valley floor of Yosemite facing Half Dome for 10 years. Films like this fail to tell the overall story. The unbelievable census of the endless tourist ruining the fragile landscape. The story of them parking on the meadow, sides of the roads where parking is prohibited, In front of our garage & being towed, then they complain. Tramping off trails where it is prohibitive. Trying to 'pet' the wild animals, having their arm ripped to shred's and blaming the wildlife not the (Their) tourist's stupidity. I once mentioned at a dinner party with a mix of executives from the Concessionaire (At the time Delaware North) and Park Service leaders from Washington DC that the National Park system should close a park at a time, for five years to 'recover'. After that, create a lottery system to gage the amount of tourists a season. The Park System applauded, the Concessionaire just stared at me with the 'deer in the headlight's ' look of revenge. Let me say that the only reason they ( referring to the Concessionaire) are there is to make as much money as possible. Let me note the park service has a hard job and it is only augmented by them dealing with the concessionaire and the necessary 'evil' of the tourists. Their very dedicated Women and Men. Bless them for giving it a college try. We use to have a 'unofficial' lottery of how many tourists would die due to their stupidity, such as 'swimming' in the Yosemite Falls pool , where the upper and lower falls meet, the 'pool' is fenced off with signs saying swimming is prohibited. Attempting to pet, Bears and/or Coyotes, Deer's etc. The list goes on, 'ad infinitum'... Love to the National Park Service and the world they are assigned to manage. 🥰🥰🥰 PS. (Let me note, I am not a Park Service or Federal Government employee.)

Keep

Ddddddd

@Juan R Garcia Native Americans immigrated from Asia 40,000 years ago. They never owned anything

Please don't set fire to the documentary

amen

@ChrisNVegas i hope so too. And we hope you come again some time. :^)

@Guantanamo Bay Barbie I hope all the original critters return the balance of nature. I was in Oregon a year ago. Very enjoyable.

@ChrisNVegas there are wolves now in southern Oregon. So maybe within a decade you'll see them return. 🙏🏼

@ChrisNVegas Sad that humans removed the predators that kept deer in check

Wolves were hunted till there were no more in this area. There were also grizzly bears. Those are not there anymore either. Yosemite is a bit crowded for my taste. I prefer Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park, a couple hours south. Still beautiful, far less people. If you visit Sequoia, then a visit to Death Valley nearby is also a must.

so glad! Thanks for stopping by to let us know.

It was nature

God bless you! Greetings from England! Healthy people don't get to see those too often either 🤣

Same. I wish I could find more documentaries with him as the narrator

Come see these parks for yourself. Don't miss Sequoia and Death Valley. Isn't it time for a holiday?

🙏🏽

Indeed. There’s so much beauty everywhere. All singular and awesome

@ChrisNVegas im agree with ur statement

@Rob Snow It’s a beautiful drive and Kings Canyon is something special! I would highly recommend going and checking out Grizzly Falls, Roaring River Falls, Knapps Cabin, Zumwalt Meadow and Muir Rock at Road’s End. You can see all in a day easily. If you like to camp the campground in Kings Canyon are awesome as well!

@Nat Lovell have not yet but I plan to

Have you ever driven the scenic byway down into Kings Canyon?

I agree. Has also become too crowded for my taste. I'd rather visit Sequoia.

Adam Jacobs You mean 63 don’t you?

Adam Jacobs ok

Adam Jacobs no they don’t.

Adam Jacobs I’m talking about a national park, that’s maybe 1/10 the size of Alabama with about 3 million annually visitors. Alabama has 4 million residence, and you are taking missing person report filled, with the vast majority of people found. I’m talking about a tourist destinations were the majority are never found, and disappear under very strange circumstances.
