I just got back from visiting Yosemite National Park (my first time in 16 years of living in CA). We camped at nearby Camp Mather and on Tuesday we decided to bike to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir to see where our drinking water comes from. At the entrance to the park, we were charged $300 to enter the park on our bikes. 12 adults and 3 children at $20 each.
As we were trying to negotiate with the rangers, a massive 10,000 pound Ford F-WTF with 4 people in it entered the park for only $35.
It is obscene that the @NationalParkService is subsidizing road destroying, forest-fire accelerating motor vehicles and giving the finger to anyone who chooses to visit our national parks sustainably by walking or biking.
