Scoping Meetings
Yosemite National Park held an open house in Yosemite Valley, Wednesday April 28th from 1-4 pm. During the Open House a park botanist led a tour of Cooks Meadow. The presentation explored some of the challenges and successes in the battle to protect Yosemite’s biodiversity and discussed recent developments driving the need for an update. This 45-minute casual hike departed from the open house.

Did You Know?

El Portal Boulder Bar

At the east end of El Portal, just west of Yosemite National Park’s boundary, changing river gradients, glacial history, and powerful floods have created a boulder bar with boulders much larger than typically found in such deposits. This is no ordinary boulder bar, however, for it contains massive boulders over a meter in diameter and weighing many tons.
