Yes and no.

The Gunowners Protection Act which was passes as law sometime during the mid 1980's says that anywhere a gun is legal at the starting point and the destination can be transported as long as it's in a locked container in the trunk/not accessable to the driver and unloaded.

The problem arises when an officer decides that he has never heard of such a law and it's up to a judge to explain it to the both of you.

McLure-Volkmer Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986.

Commonly called FOPA-86

Lack of legal carry in the parks only makes them more attractive to criminals, remember the rapist/murderer at Yosemite?
He did not need to worry while killing three women.
