Mt Tamalpais from Stinson Beach: View from Mt Tamalpais: January 20, 2007: Point Reyes' Coastal Trail via Alamere Falls, Arch Rock and Sculptured Beach We shuttled cars to hike one-way from the southern tip of Pt Reyes to the popular Coastal Camp all along the coast. There are several five-star attractions along the way: Alamere Falls (waterfalls on the beach), several lakes just above the coast, fields of wildflowers, and Sculptured Beach, that on a day of low tide is a micro-cosmos in itself. Bass Lake: Pelican Lake: Alamere Falls: Alamere Falls: Alamere Falls: Arch Rock: Sea Tunnel: Sculptured Beach: Sculptured Beach: Sculptured Beach: Tidepools: Tidepools: View of Drake's Estero: March 31: From China Camp to Big Sur in the Ventana Wilderness The Ventana Wilderness has the highest density of mountain lions. We crossed it one-way from east to west, starting in the middle of nowhere and ending at the popular trailhead by the beach, passing by the vastly over- rated Sykes hot springs. This wilderness is really wild. The best attraction were the yuccas. Yucca: Wildflower: April 8: From Portola Redwoods Park to Big Basin to Waddell Beach We thought there should be a way to hike from the Peninsula to the ocean and we found it. Friends came to pick us up at the beach. Silver Falls: Golden Cascades: In a creek: Berry Falls: Waddell Beach: April 21: Joshua Tree Park A bit too touristy. May 12: Junipero Serra Peak in Los Padres National Forest The biggest pine cones ever: May 19: Half Dome, Yosemite An over-rated hike, and totally worthless after June (because the waterfalls dry up considerably if not totally), but it does offer a good view (although inferior to Glacier Point and Clouds Rest) and some thrills (for those who rock climb in gymns). Vernal Falls, Yosemite: Misty Trail: Nevada Falls: Nevada Falls: Little Yosemite Valley: Half Dome: Half Dome (the cables), Yosemite: The cables: Yosemite Valley from Half Dome: May 20: Cathedral Lake, Yosemite I rarely hike in the snow because the snow/ice covers most of the attractions, but this was one pretty view. June 16-17: Mt Brewer (4136m) via East Lake and Sphinx Lakes, Kings Canyon We made a colossal loop of the sierras in Kings Canyon Park. We had to cross a deep creek and a big lake. Then hike cross-country to the summit of Mt Brewer (a respectable 4.000 meter mountain). Then down the steep sandy chute to Sphinx Pass. On the other side lies the basin of the Sphinx Lakes, possibly the prettiest lakes of California. Alas, not reached by any trail. Down the seven lakes we eventually returned to the trailhead at Roads End, Kings Canyon Park. This was the longest hike of the year and one of the two most adventurous. East Lake on the way to Mt Brewer: Mt Brewer: North Guard: View from the top of Mt Brewer: Sphinx Lakes 3 and 4: Sphinx Lake 5: June 23: Tenaya Canyon, Yosemite This is considered a deadly trail and i found out why, but great views of Half Dome. Tenaya Canyon to Half Dome: June 24: Mt Conness (3979m) from Tioga Lake, Yosemite This hike at the eastern border of Yosemite was totally cross-country. Its highlight were the wildflowers. I now rank this area as the best one to see mountain flowers. Wildflowers: Shell Lake: Fantail lake, one of the many lakes along the way: View of the basin: Summit block: View west: July 29: Trans-Sierra from Florence Lake (Mono Divide) to North Lake (Eastern Sierra) A crazy friend and myself started from two very distant trailheads: one near Fresno and one near Bishop, exactly the opposite sides of California (east and west). We had figured out a way to hike from one trailhead to the other one crossing the sierras horizontally in one day and using only official trails. Each of us met hikers who were doing epic hikes in the sierras and none of those hikers believed what we were doing. We met (and exchanged car keys) almost exactly where we had planned to meet (half way). Needless to say, the middle part of this hike was really in the middle of nowhere. Lake Florence In the middle of the sierras: Piute Creek: My favorite flower: Flower parade: Summit Plateau Piute Pass: Eastern side of Piute Pass: July 31: Split Mt (4285m), Eastern Sierra The hike itself to this mountain (one of the ten highest in California) is demanding but getting to the trailhead is even more adventurous because the road is not maintained. The first time we failed because it took too long to get to the trailhead. The second time i used a combination of car and mountain bike to reach the trailhead. Split Mt has one of the best views of the Sierra, because it is almost exactly half way between the Palisades and Mt Whitney/Williamson. Nobody else hiking there. Owens Valley: Chute to the top: Split Mt: August 12: Mt Whitney's mountaineering route, Eastern Sierra (4421m) This much feared hike turned out to be a surgical strike. The regular trail is over-crowded and requires permits that are annoying to obtain (Mt Whitney is the highest mountain in the contiguous USA and one of the few that has a trail all the way to the top). This cross-country route instead does not require "red tape" and it is used by very few hikers. Both the regular trail and this cross-country route to the summit of Mt Whitney are among the best in California. This one adds the thrill of "the trail you make is the trail you take". We left the regular trail after just 15 minutes. The route is not obvious, but i had done it before and this time i managed to really optimize it. You have to cross waterfalls (in fact, a triple one), creeks, a little jungle. You have to climb rocks and even a tree. You have to walk along the edge of a colossal gorge. Finally you have to climb a steep sandy chute and, when you think it can't get any worse, you have to use your hands up the last narrow chimney. Mt Whitney: Iceberg Lake: The chute to the top: View from the summit: August 24: Thunderbolt Peak via Bishop Pass (4267m), Eastern Sierra This is one of the legendary peaks of the Palisades. The trail to Bishop Pass passes several pretty lakes. Bishop Pass is the entry to Dusy Basin, which is worth the hike by itself. Then i left the trail to go east and coasted giant mountains to Thunderbolt Pass, from which there is another spectacular view on the region south of the Palisades. Then i climbed the peak until i reached the notch on top of the Palisades Glacier. I had been before in the Palisades Glacier, but never seen it from above. Long Lake at sunrise (one of the 12 lakes on the north side of Bishop Pass): Dusy Basin (the other side of Bishop Pass): The chute to the top: The Palisades Glacier and the "Seven Lakes" area from the summit: Starlight Peak and North Palisade from the summit: August 26: Mt Darwin via Lake Sabrina (4215m), Eastern Sierra This was pure scouting and exploration.

  • Tulare County Measure R Riparian-Wildlife Corridor Report
    Tulare County Measure R Riparian-Wildlife Corridor Report Prepared by Tulare Basin Wildlife Partners for Tulare County Association of Govenments 11 February 2008 Executive Summary As part of an agreement with the Tulare County Association of Governments, Tulare Basin Wildlife Partners (TBWP) visited nine potential riparian and wildlife corridors in Tulare County during summer 2007. We developed a numerical ranking system and determined the five corridors with highest potential for conservation, recreation and conjunctive uses. The selected corridors include: Deer Creek Riparian Corridor, Kings River Riparian Corridor, Oaks to Tules Riparian Corridor, Lewis Creek Riparian Corridor, and Cottonwood Creek Wildlife Corridor. For each corridor, we provide a brief description and a summary of attributes and opportunities. Opportunities include flood control, groundwater recharge, recreation, tourism, and wildlife. We also provide a brief description of opportunities for an additional eight corridors that were not addressed in depth in this document. In addition, we list the Measure R transportation improvements and briefly discuss the potential wildlife impacts for each of the projects. The document concludes with an examination of other regional planning efforts that include Tulare County, including the San Joaquin Valley Blueprint, the Tulare County Bike Path Plan, the TBWP’s Sand Ridge-Tulare Lake Plan, the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), and the USFWS Upland Species Recovery Plan.

  • Mechanisms and Rate of Emplacement of the Half Dome Granodiorite
    Mechanisms and rate of emplacement of the Half Dome Granodiorite Kyle J. Krajewski Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Allen F. Glazner Introduction Continental crust is largely composed of high-silica intrusive rocks such as granite, and understanding the mechanisms of granitic pluton emplacement is essential for understanding the formation of continental crust. With its incredible exposure, few places are comparable to the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite (TIS) in Yosemite National Park for studying these mechanisms. The TIS is interpreted as a comagmatic assemblage of concentric intrusions (Bateman and Dodge, 1970). The silica contents of the plutons increase from the margins inwards, transitioning from tonalities to granites, through both abrupt and gradational boundaries (Bateman and Chappell, 1979; Fig. 1). The age of the TIS also has a distinct trend, with the oldest rocks cropping out at the margins and the youngest toward the center. To accommodate this time variation, the TIS is hypothesized to have formed from multiple pulses of magma (Bateman and Chappell, 1979) . Understanding the volume, timing, and interaction of these pulses with one another has led to the formation of three main hypotheses to explain the evolution of the TIS. Figure 1. Simplified geologic map of the TIS. Insets of rocks on the right illustrate petrographic variation through the suite. Bateman and Chappell (1979) hypothesized that as the suite cooled, it solidified from the margins inward. Solidification of the chamber was prolonged by additional pulses of magma. These pulses expanded the chamber through erosion of the wall rock and breaking through the overlying carapace, creating a ballooning magma chamber.

Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. * Menlo Park, CA 94025 Frontispiece The 1864 field party of the California Geological Survey. From left to right: James T. Gardiner, Richard D. Cotter, William H. Brewer, and Clarence King. INTRODUCTION This field trip guide includes road logs for the three principal roadways on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada that are adjacent to, or pass through, parts of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (Figs. 1,2, 3). The roads include State Route 180 from Fresno to Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon Park (the Kings Canyon Highway), State Route 198 from Visalia to Sequoia Park ending near Grant Grove (the Generals Highway) and the Mineral King road (county route 375) from State Route 198 near Three Rivers to Mineral King. These roads provide a good overview of this part of the Sierra Nevada which lies in the middle of a 250 km span over which no roads completely cross the range. The Kings Canyon highway penetrates about three-quarters of the distance across the range and the State Route 198~Mineral King road traverses about one-half the distance (Figs.

  • THE YOSEMITE by John Muir CHAPTER I The
    THE YOSEMITE By John Muir CHAPTER I The Approach to the Valley When I set out on the long excursion that finally led to California I wandered afoot and alone, from Indiana to the Gulf of Mexico, with a plant-press on my back, holding a generally southward course, like the birds when they are going from summer to winter. From the west coast of Florida I crossed the gulf to Cuba, enjoyed the rich tropical flora there for a few months, intending to go thence to the north end of South America, make my way through the woods to the headwaters of the Amazon, and float down that grand river to the ocean. But I was unable to find a ship bound for South America--fortunately perhaps, for I had incredibly little money for so long a trip and had not yet fully recovered from a fever caught in the Florida swamps. Therefore I decided to visit California for a year or two to see its wonderful flora and the famous Yosemite Valley. All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander. Arriving by the Panama steamer, I stopped one day in San Francisco and then inquired for the nearest way out of town. "But where do you want to go?" asked the man to whom I had applied for this important information. "To any place that is wild," I said. This reply startled him. He seemed to fear I might be crazy and therefore the sooner I was out of town the better, so he directed me to the Oakland ferry.
