Here’s why, another video from the good people at Yosemite National Park:
Any of the National Parks is special, in winter. What is your snow and cold experience in them?

It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Here’s a map of the Long Valley Caldera:
And here’s a more colorful map of potentially active volcanoes in California (though, maddeningly, it doesn’t show where Yosemite is with a label):
From the Geology Cafe.
Yosemite is due west of the Mono-Inyo Valley Craters, outside of the Long Valley Caldera. Certainly a massive eruption of Long Valley would cause trouble for Yosemite.
All volcanoes in California are placid now, and the California Volcano Observatory (CALVO) lists no immediate danger.
I think we can probably get to Yosemite in our lifetimes.
And if Long Valley goes off while we’re there? Hey, I’ve seen that movie of the post-nuclear apocalypse. Not sure I want to wait on a beach in Australia for the cloud of ash to snuff out life. Might be better to be closer to the catastrophe.

Don’t confuse Yosemite with Yellowstone.
Is Yosemite inside the California caldera? I didn’t think so.

Yeah it is pretty there.
And you should visit, cause one day it will be volcano dust.
