Is it safe to walk around Yosemite Valley?

This page covers traffic crashes, not crime. We don't rate places as safe or unsafe: crash counts can't say how risky a walk is, and the places visitors crowd see more crashes partly because more people are there. What the records show: no pedestrian crashes were reported within a mile of Yosemite Valley from 2021–2026. Crashes inside Yosemite National Park are investigated by National Park Service rangers, and their reports may not reach the state crash system, so the counts here can miss them.
