“Fall is a magical time in the High Sierra with cooler temperatures, fewer crowds and a golden hue that blankets the region,” said Paul Ratchford, general manager. “We encourage visitors who had to postpone their visits to Yosemite due to the recent fire to consider rescheduling for fall since they can still enjoy many great warm weather activities plus take advantage of one of the most scenic and romantic times of the year.”
