Summary: <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Traffic in Yosemite during peak tourist months is often compared to rush hour in Los Angeles. Some visitors will often drive around for hours and never find a parking spot. The bottleneck is so bad, it’s now part of Yosemite’s identity. That’s why we’re dedicating our second episode of </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">YosemiteLand </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">to the seemingly intractable problem of gridlock. Join Ezra as he sits in a snarl-up of tourists and learns how all these cars put wildlife at risk. He’ll also explore solutions that could </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">make your future visits less miserable — and help sustain the park.</span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a previous version of this episode Ezra mislabeled Ryan Leahy and Caitlin Lee-Roney’s titles. They have been corrected. Ryan Leahy is a wildlife biologist in the park, and Caitlin Lee-Roney is the lead wildlife biologist for Yosemite National Park. </span></em></p>
