Yosemite Valley - Cook's Meadow Loop Self-Guided Tour

This walk is about three kinds of change. First, there is the inevitable, natural, gradual change throughout nature; this is the essence of the life of rocks, plants, and animals. Second, there is the ever-increasing change caused by a growing public eager to enjoy the sublime features of Yosemite. Finally, there is change in society's understanding, sensitivity, and attitudes toward the special needs of Yosemite's environment.
