Yosemite is one of the country's oldest national parks and one of the most
popular. It's unfortunate these days that the park's beauty threatens to be its
downfall, with the valley overcrowded in summer and the campgrounds so packed
that you may feel like you're in the middle of a freeway at rush hour. Go to the
valley off-season or head for locales outside the valley any time, and you'll
have a lot more room.
