Yellowstone or Yosemite National Park?

Travel Info
Which one do you like better? I've been to Yellowstone National Park , but not Yosemitte. Now, me and my husband are planning to go to Yosemite and I was just wondering if it's any different that Yellowstone. Also, is end of May a good time to go there?

Travel Tips

Yosemite is very different than Yellowstone. Yosemite Valley is an awesome site to behold. May is an EXCELLENT time to visit Yosemite, since the waterfalls are usually flowing at full strength, depending on the snowpack. You didn't mention if you are flying or driving, or which direction you are coming from. Assuming that you are coming in from SF, you should have no problems. Some of the high country roads, like 120, might not be open over Tioga Pass due to snow.

Are you driving? If you can, bring your bike. There's nothing like riding in the Yosemite Valley. If not, that's OK, you can rent one.

Have fun!

both, they have wonderful sights
yosenmite by far except for the huge amount of tourists, which leads to a lot of cars, which leads to a lot of traffic
Never been to Yosemite but Yellowstone I did...
I just like the experience there... If I were you, i'd go to yosemite but would like to visit Yellowstone again...
I have never been to Yosemite, but I can't imagine it being comparable to Yellowstone. I am only in California in the winter, and I doubt if that is the right time to go.
We went on the high road through Yosemite this past fall and it was an incredible place with meadows, granite hills and moutains. At the end of the road head for Highway 395 there is Mono Lake just outside the gates of Yosemite to the left, its worth a trip.
May still might have snow on the ground, you should call ahead to see if its open. This site has all the phone numbershttp://www.yosemitefun.com/yosemite_nati...
We haven't been to the lower valley road yet. They have bus tours to all the sites. You just park your car and they take you around. We might try that this fall.
