The weather in the park has been sunny to partly cloudy with occasional precipitation. Snow levels have been down to 4,000 feet. In Tuolumne Meadows, the daytime highs have been in the 30s, the overnight lows have been in the 20s, and there are 28 inches of snow. Even at this time of year, bears are breaking 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. Firearms are prohibited in Yosemite National Park. You may enter the park 24 hours a day.
