CAMPING in UNCROWDED YOSEMITE National Park | Truck Camper Living
I haven't spent much time in Yosemite because it is "usually" way too crowded for me. I'm so glad I decided to give it a chance mid-week during November. There were NO CROWDS!!! I couldn't believe it! I even had a trail entirely to myself. In this video I explore Yosemite Valley and camp inside the park at Upper Pine campground for 2 nights. This was my BEST experience ever in Yosemite! Come Along!

Cat... Hi sweetheart. This is your best ever. Definitely worthy of a place on a coffee mug. I'll be ordering one for my Sunday morning coffee with you. Today is Nov 9th. Don't forget you said you were working on a date for your livestream this month. No pressure babe. 🤣 See ya, bye. Love you. Randy. ❤

wow you're an inspiration, you produce such beautiful images and can sell them prints with just a kit lens and standard basic camera. Most professionals will use a medium format or expensive camera and quality high end lens for prints. Kudos to you and your photography! God bless and safe travels

Tugs at my heartstrings. I can’t believe that it’s been 28 years since I was in Yosemite, but I still contribute to the Yosemite Conservancy every year.

It's been since 1982 for me. I understand those same feelings when missing a certain place. It is the joy experienced and thinking of those memories that cause the tugs. Yosemite does have a special place in my heart.

I know what you mean. Last time I visited, I was 12. I'm 72 now and planning to visit again next fall. An Oregon nomad 🌲❤🐺🐶❤🌲
I took my new wife here on our honeymoon the first week of November 1983. We hiked for miles seeing more deer than people. We just celebrated 38 years together. You just helped us relive that experience.
This channel is definitely the No. 1 Sunday morning option.

@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Catherine beautiful video.. You did a GREAT job.. it's a pleasure to follow you on youtube.
Anyone who has been to Yosemite knows that it always holds a special place in your heart after you witness its beauty. I've been to a lot of places around the world, but Yosemite is just a special place. I look forward to returning there; hopefully next year. Thanks for this great refresher look Catherine.
It’s my favorite place on the face of the earth. I remember going on Sunday trips to Yosemite when I was young. We lived in Clovis, near Fresno. I’ve been to some more beautiful places but none mean as much as Yosemite.
That was so stunning & majestic. Just when it seems it can't get any more beautiful, it does. Loved watching this. :)
I saw Yosemite at age 4, in 1957. It's something you never forget. We watched them send burning logs over the falls after dark. The whole place is magical.
Yosemite without bumper to bumper traffic and no throngs of people. A dream come true.
Stunning. Spectacular colors. Great cinematography. Beatiful host. Total package.
I can't believe you had that hike to yourself. What a fantastic trip you had. I haven't been there since I was young because of all the people. As a native Californian, thank you for "returning" me to Yosemite!!!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Good morning Catherine .

Are you talking about Yosemite or Catherine? I must say I agree with you either way! The two together is breath taking.
Growing up in Southern California in the 1950s, spent many summer vacations, with family and friends, sleeping in old Army surplus canvas tents in Yosemite Valley! My best friend Mark and I, in our Davy Crockett 'coonskin caps, blazing trails through the wilderness! I wonder how many of your subscribers have ever heard the following shouted exchange every night in Yosemite at 9:00 p.m.: "Hello Glacier!" "Hello, Camp Curry!" "Let the fire fall!" "Fire fall!"
Catherine, Yosemite is one of the only parks in CA where you truly see the seasons changing. Absolutely beautiful scenery, the sunrise brings such beautiful hues to the trees and mountains. Thanks again for taking us along.
Love the scene where you floats above ground fog. 👍🧚♀️👍
Thank you so much Cat for that lovely surprise 💕💞💓💕💞💕💓💓💕💞💕💓💕ooooooooo so beautiful and pleasant. I cried and cried. Thank you. Someday I will get there too. Thank you.💗
Once again Cat, the opening shot was stunning! Back in the early 2000's, I did a week long backpacking trip with some friends in Yosemite. We shuttled to the outskirts, then hiked up 1000 ft to Sunset Lakes to make a base camp. From there we hiked to Cloud's Rest, where you are actually looking DOWN at Half Dome, which of course we hiked to later and climbed. We only had what we could carry in our packs, and it was the best week of my life.

There's a Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz movie, "The Long Long Trailer" which has the same shot. Can you imagine seeing that on a movie screen? Wow. However, *NOTHING* prepares you for seeing Tunnel View in person. It's imposing and breathtaking.

Thanks for sharing your experience I find it inspiring to know how others felt or thought about hiking in Yosemite
Catherine, I was in Yosemite when in college for a day while doing some work in California. I’m now 60 and my one and only wife are still working full time but we are campers when we can. We’ve made it to Yellowstone and Grand Teton and well as Isle Royale National Parks in Michigan’s upper peninsula to name a few. Residing in Kentucky makes those westward trips lengthy but as retirement begins to be discussed it may be soon when we can journey to Yosemite and behold that beauty once again. I am so thankful that past Presidents and influencers had the vision and passion to preserve our nation’s greatest treasures by creating and sustaining our National Parks! I pray that they will always remain so that our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren if we’re so blessed, can enjoy that same inspiring scenery someday. Thanks for your beautiful scenery filled episodes. Stay safe and happy travels.

If you do indeed visit CA and Yosemite again, I HIGHLY encourage you to visit at a time where you can also take the King's Canyon National Scenic Byway into King's Canyon National Park. It is truly magnificent and will take your breath away just like Yosemite, but with a fraction of the crowds.
Yosemite. The phrase "nearer my God to thee" comes to mind.
And the Oscar goes to……Cat (and her hats) for another wonderful film……
I know that prescribed burns can sound like a loss for photographers, but your keen eye put it to work and it felt that you were walking yourself through the October and November month shots in the ultimate Yosemite calendar - an early Christmas present for your fans.
Couldn't help but get emotional when seeing this. Yosemite is truly truly magnificent and transformative.
“With all this beauty, how could I not stop?” Yes!
So gorgeous, I thought it was fake! God's creations take my breathe away! You have a gift to show the splendor.
You have made one of the best KZread videos. Hope more people can enjoy them
Hello Catherine, your keen eye for capturing Yosemite would make Ansel Adams proud of you.
My fav place on earth🌎🌎
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for inviting us along on this serene and magnificent adventure.
Dear Cat 😄🍀😘 this is one of our personal most like places in the world we have ever seen. 🙏☺️thank you for sharing your moments in Yosemite with us🍀😘 you did it in such a lovely way 👍🤩 Take care on you ☺️🍀See you next week, your Berlin Fan Couple Nicole and Hardy 🥰🤗

YOSEMITE and Catherine truly both California's Gold beauty's! You make this adventure heaven on earth!
My husband and I were both there in 2000 and we traveled 12 national parks in 2 weeks and only could stay one day and Yosemite. You can't truly explore it in one day but we got to see El Capitan and all the big places and it is absolutely stunning and thank you for showing it to us in the fall. We were there in June. Absolutely beautiful breathtaking.
It's such a beautiful place but what makes it even better Catherine is the music you add to your videos. Enhances the experience! Thank you.
Always amazing.
Maybe it was the beauty of Yosemite, perhaps the bittersweet end of another beautiful year, but that was one of your best productions ever. Thank you for sharing that decidedly intimate dance with autumn.
Love this! Thank you!
When I was a kid in the 70's I got a shirt from there that read "GO CLIMB A ROCK" I also got stung by a wasp while skipping rocks in the river.
What a wonderful trip down memory lane for me. My only visit there was in the mid 1970s, late October. I've never forgotten that initial heart stopping first view going in....left an enduring love of this place. What a treat. Thank you.
Beautiful.
So Amazing! Good coverage indeed!
Beautiful video again. Thank you.
Thanks for the ride along 👍👍
Awesome experience thank you thank you
Thank you for doing this area …perfect timing for fall colors. It’s really nice when you travel along the path with little interference. WOW GREAT JOB! Take care Catherine! 🍂🍂🍂
Absolutely stunning! Thank you
You nailed it- the lighting was absolutely perfect! I (we) appreciate you are a morning-riser who knows how the light is more striking (not in anyway to not recognize your evening/sunsets either!). I’m not sure, but I also think your music selection this episode was near magical as well. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Safe travels.

You got it. A smart photographer, like Cat, absolutely works the golden hours at both ends of the day. So many times I have driven in the dark to get in place by first light. Then driven home in the dark after the last blue hour. Most folks have no idea what goes into great photos.
Great video enjoy your journey
Stunning!!! Nailed it again Cat!
Wow just fantastic.

Just beautiful! You definitely capture the beauty of every place you go and do it in a way that you make the viewer feel as if they are there. I'm a avid hiker, and you catch the the little things that most people never see when they go. Safe travels this week. PS hope you never stop videos, I'm addicted.
