The weather in the park has been partly sunny to overcast with rain and snow. In Yosemite Valley, daytime highs have been in the high 40s with overnight lows in the high 30s. In Tuolumne Meadows, the daytime highs have been in the 30s, the overnight lows have been in the mid-20s, and there are 54 inches of snow. Even at this time of year, bears may break into cars in parking lots and campgrounds in search of food. Do not leave food in your car.
Bears can smell food in vehicle trunks and can break in.
All food, ice chests, and aromatic items should be stored in metal food storage boxes or hard-sided cabins. Keep a clean car and campsite, and throw away all trash. Once bears become conditioned to human food, they may become unnaturally aggressive and must be killed. You may enter the park 24 hours a day. Reservations are not needed to enter the park.
