Notes:
Visitation - Yosemite is the third most visited National Park in the United States after the Great Smoky Mountains and the Grand Canyon.  2012 visitation was down somewhat from the preceding years, possibly because of the hantavirus.  Numbers for 2011 were 4,098,648 and for 2010 4,047,880.  The highest number was 4,190,557 in 1996.
