Went camping in Yosemite Valley (Upper Pines) over Super Bowl weekend and spent one night there. The drive took about three hours, and there was no snow and no need for chains on Highway 140. At check-in, the ranger asked whether I was a permanent resident or citizen because prices have changed, so I showed my passport card. The weather was in the low 30s at night and mid 50s during the day, cold but totally manageable. The showers at Curry Village were closed for repairs, but groceries in the valley were open, and fires at the campsite were allowed. It wasn’t crowded at all, no loud music, no partying during iquiet hours, just a peaceful, beautiful stay, on a starry night.
