On this week of Little Yo Pod, I talk about traffic in Yosemite and how implementing a permit system like the one used in 2020 could help alleviate that situation that has troubled visitors and residents for decades.

Every February, we have the chance to view one of the most remarkable natural events in Yosemite. Sunlight hitting Horsetail Fall on El Capitan in the winter casts a bright, neon orange glow that seems to emanate from the waterfall itself. It is a sacred and much sought after event, and we cover it all on this week's episode!
