Yosemite closed due to snow.

This year has been a record winter season. Record-shattering amounts of snow have fallen in Yosemite Valley and even more so in the high country. This video was shot on February 25th after the park had closed and all visitors and most employees had been evacuated. I was one of the last ones out from Yosemite West, forced to leave through the valley and out 140 through El Portal and Mariposa instead of south on 41 due to that highway being closed. I set my iPhone on my dashcam brace and recorded driving through the valley capturing something most people will never see. Indeed, in my 38 years in Yosemite, this is the first time I have seen it void of people, so I figured it was worth recording. The editing is minimal; boring stretches of driving are sped up 300% in an effort not to give you a headache and bore you to death. But here's what Yosemite looks like with no people. Think of this video on the Fourth of July when it's overrun with the human lemmings.
