I just came across this  video from the National Parks Foundation with Alex Honnold talking about his experience in Yosemite. Earlier this summer I was fortunate to be able to visit the park for the first time, so this video really stuck with me. I love the time-lapse segments, and of course Alex has a great story of growing up going to the park and car camping, then becoming a pro rock climber and visiting every season.

Have you been? Have any insider tips for those who haven’t spent much time there? Let us know in the comments.
