Vanpools and public transit subsidies are available to help support daily commuting. Mariposa and El Portal get a few days of snow throughout the winter and summer temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees.

Despite these challenges Yosemite offers a uniquely rewarding professional environment where staff demonstrate their dedication to the National Park Service mission on a daily basis.
