## Resource

Yosemite’s summer just got wild — no reservations needed, but chaos reigns with hour-long entrance waits, parking nightmares, and illegal parking on meadows. Over 100K more visitors than last year have flooded in, straining shuttles and roads. Park officials ditched the reservation system to boost access, but critics say it’s harming the environment and eroding the park’s integrity. The debate’s on: should it be a pristine wilderness or a tourist magnet? Pro tips? Arrive early, hit weekdays, or take the bus — and text “ynptraffic” for real-time updates.
