Many, many times. I grew up in Sonora, CA, which is very close by.
It's a great park, but I also really enjoy Emigrant Wilderness, which is less touristed and wonderful country to hike and explore. The best parts of Yosemite are the ones least frequented by tourists, imho. Though many of the falls and popular features are incredible. I especially like Sentinel Dome, you can see the whole valley.

Probably about a dozen times in the 70s and 80s, and the last time in the early 90s, before they shut down most of the camping and the ability to drive into the canyon. There was also a big fire in the late 90s IIRC that burned most of the campground areas, which I believe they haven't rebuilt. The bottom line is that it's much more difficult to enjoy Yosemite today than it was when I was a kid, but it's still an amazingly beautiful place. Somewhere, I have a pic of me, taken on a crappy instamatic film camera, on the top of Half Dome.
I don't believe half the stuff people post on here claiming to be them and if it is so lets see those chicken legs from all angles.
And no I've not been here long enough to visit. Maybe after my doctorate.
Yosemite is beautiful & popular. Definitely in my Hiking to do list. Maybe those legs need to be at different angles for ratings Lol.

Yes, a number of times. Unfortunately it is so fucking crowded most of the time it is difficult to enjoy the valley. Need to get into the backcountry - but that requires a permit now because otherwise that would get crowded too.
Yes, back in the nineties. Beautiful country. But I was with my family so I did not get the chance to hike and explore its beauty.
No but I would definitley like to (especially to check out the redwoods). Also the rain forests in Oregon are on my bucket list.
