The sign appears to have been a free-hand attempt at STENCIL.TTF

You can download it here and give it a try:

Take a look at STENCIL.ttf in action and let me know what you think:

Thats a stencil font, but not the one used on the Yosemite Signs. 
(The A sholdn't have a crossbar, the W,T,V's should be all connected,
both prongs on the Y the same size, etc, etc, etc)

I've looked a a number of stencil type fonts, but none seem to match
what the NPS used/uses for the Yosemite signs.  (I'm begining to
suspect that they made the welding punchout stencil custom for the
sign construction)

There's a bunch of additional sample pics up at:
