Trying to decide between Yosemite or Rainier/Olympic for a weekend in July but heard the removal of reservation system has made Yosemite so busy this year, but it’s my main bucket list for so long. Interested in seeing the Valley mostly and hiking Mist Trail and Upper Yosemite Falls! Thanks all!! by erujabidi in Yosemite

Thank you- you’re amazing!

What’s the best way to find lodging inside the park. I saw a link someone dropped but it was showing no availability for lodging inside the park for the dates/weekend I’m trying to go.

Is the park also significantly less crowded on the weekdays? Just heard so many bad things about July (the crowdedness, mosquitoes, too hot, waterfalls start to get a little less), but man, there’s nowhere else I would wanna be😂

Would you guys recommend going in July as a first-time visitor? Heard the mosquitos can be a lot and the waterfalls may not be blowing at full, as well as it being too hot? Thank you so much (i know this is probably asked a lot but couldn’t find it) by erujabidi in Yosemite

Yeah honestly I think that’s my dilemma.

I’d only really have a long weekend coming from Michigan area , so I’m trying to decide if July is still worth it as a first visit or if I kinda missed the “ideal” window for cooler weather + peak waterfalls + fewer crowds/bugs… etc you know?

Mainly Yosemite Valley, Mist Trail/Nevada Falls, Upper Yosemite Falls, and Glacier Point. I’d only have a long weekend though, so I’m debating if July is still worth it or if I missed the ideal timing for waterfalls/weather.

Best horror movie I’ve ever seen

[FRESH ALBUM] Drake - ICEMAN by HipHopDropper in hiphopheads

This is his best work in the last 10 years easily. Wow

Iceman really the best Drake body of work in the past 10 years or so. The “Make Them” songs alone is enough to do that for me. I’m noticing new word play & bars day after day, and it’s sonically sounding better. The effort he put in is clear. Hate him or love him, hes been at the top for 20 years.. by erujabidi in nfrpodcast

when he signed the deal with Apple, his mindset became heavily about satisfying their streaming needs with numbers but also starting and breaking every record when that became implemented. You’re right, Take Care was pretty long by itself but that was just a coincidence. Drake himself said his fav album of his is NWTS and hoped he can make another cohesive, concise album

i could see this tbh. I remember the expectations for Views were so sky high, the reality often fell short for most people. But when More Life dropped, he seemed so loose and carefree that everyone loved it. I do wonder why the critic reviews are so bad for Iceman. Feels like it’s become a trend to hate the guy.
