    Yosemite is visited anually by millions of people with most of them heading for the Yosemite Valley. During the summer the roads can become extremely congested. That is why the visitors are encouraged to park their own car in one of the parking lots available and take the free shuttle to points of interest in Yosemite Valley. The shuttle runs every 10-20 minutes so you won't have to wait for long.

    There is a free shuttle bus which runs along Yosemite Valley. Visitors have the option of using the bus service or driving their own cars. But due to the high volume of traffic in the valley, there is a shortage of parking spaces in the lots in the valley. Your best bet is to park your car in a day use lot and then walk or take a bus over to Yosemite Village. During the peak summer months, there is no other way to see all attractions in the Valley.

    THE BUS IS ON TIME

    Trying to help out the environment as well as taking the driver out of the car, the new electric hybrid technology powered shuttle buses are doing the driving for the tourists as well as making most of the Yosemite National Park within walking distance without need of bottled water, a walking stick, and a backpack. All you need is your camera to record the beauty that your eyes behold.

    When the park is crowded and parking is at a premium, the shuttle stops help ease the traffic problem near each major site. Just park in one of the day visitor parking areas and walk to the stop nearby. The shuttle is free of charge and has 21 stops throughout the Yosemite Valley. They are even wheelchair-lift equipped. Look for the Yosemite Shuttle stops and board the green and white bus for ease of transportation. A green and white bus shuttle arrives at the stops about every 20 minutes.

    An environmentally friendly and convenient way of exploring Yosemite is by free shuttle bus. There are three shuttle bus routes in Yosemite National Park: Wawona to Mariposa Grove, Eastern Yosemite Valley, and Tuolumne Meadows. The Yosemite Shuttle runs year-round; starting from the large day-use parking lot, it makes an hour loop around the valley, stopping at 21 stops along the way. Stops include Yosemite Village, Yosemite Falls, Yosemite Lodge, Housekeeping Camp, Curry Village, Mist Falls Trailhead, Mirror Lake Trailhead, and the Ahwahnee Hotel. Buses run from 7 AM to 10 PM; between 7 AM and 9 AM, buses run each half hour; between 9 AM and 6 PM, they run every 15 minutes; between 6 PM and 10 PM, they run every 20 minutes. The Wawona Shuttle makes three stops: Wawona, South Entrance, and Mariposa Grove Parking Lot. The Wawona shuttle operates from 9 AM to 6 PM; the last shuttle leaves Mariposa Grove at 6 PM, so be sure to get down to the parking area by that time. The Wawona shuttle operates usually between April and October. The Tuolumne Meadows Shuttle Bus was not operating when I was in the park; it usually starts in June.

    To get around the popular locations around the valley, use the free bus shuttle bus.

    With a transparent glass roof, you can enjoy the scene.

    Just park your car at one of the various free parking lots.

    Just remember where you parked.

    It was already dark. We thought our rental car was stolen and got the services of a park ranger who drove us around until we found the actual parking location our car!

    To reduce the amount of car traffic, there is a shuttle that stops at designated spots throughout the Valley.

    Rangers suggested to take the shuttle all the way around once to get used to the surroundings.

    This shuttle is free and there are 21 stops throughout the Valley.
