Yosemite Escape: Rafting the Merced River
Рет қаралды 2,061
11 ай бұрынWe stayed at North Pines Campground in Yosemite National Park, right next to the Merced River. Escaping the 95° heat of Yosemite Valley, we decided to cool off in the refreshing river by rafting downstream. Due to heavy snowfall the previous winter, the Merced River was flowing rapidly, prompting park rangers to restrict rafting to only a small portion of the river for safety reasons.

Beautiful. What float are you using? If we take our own float where do we park to go in the water?Can we rent rafts there if so where.? First time in yosemite. Thanks

The rafts we used were borrowed from our friends, so I’m not quite sure what type they are, but I think you can buy some inexpensive ones online. We stayed at North Pines Campground, right near it. There’s a bridge where we started our rafting trip, but we only went maybe a few hundred feet down the Merced River. I know that our friends rafted the entire way down into town the following day, and then they deflated the rafts and took the bus back to camp. That’s one option you can consider. I hope this information is helpful. Also, we plan to upload more videos from Yosemite National Park, so please stay tuned.

what parts of merced did they restrict for rafting? we were planning to raft from north pines down to sentinel bridge vs putting in at stoneman bridge since we'll probably be parking a return vehicle at sentinel bridge

You might want to contact the park rangers for the latest information, as I know that things change daily. We only rafted a few hundred feet down next to North Pines Campground. Thanks for watching our video.
