  • Final Paper of Geology G188 Xinzhu Zhang the Glacier of Yosemite National Park Abstract
    Final paper of Geology G188 Xinzhu Zhang The glacier of Yosemite National Park Abstract: Domes, waterfalls, U shape valleys and cliff can be widely seen in Yosemite National Park. These landforms are all created by glaciation, especially the Wisconsion glaciation. (Kiver and Harris) Domes such as the Lembert Dome and Half Dome are strongly influenced by plucking and abrasion. (Wikipedia website) The U shape valleys and cliff such as El Capitan is also carved by glaciers. (Wikipedia website) Thus, Yosemite National Park is the masterpiece of glaciation. 1. Yosemite National Park Yosemite National Park located in California, reaching across the western slope of Sierra Nevada. It’s 747,956 acres in size. It belongs to the National Park Services. Specially, Yosemite is famous for its “granite, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves and biological diversity” (Wikipedia website). Yosemite Park was generated from Yosemite Valley. In 1864, Yosemite grant was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Later on, John Muir built a much larger National Park which included much more than Yosemite Valley alone. In 1984, the Park became a “World heritage site” (Wikipedia website) Yosemite National Park is the home for a large variety of plants and animals including some rare ones because of the unique geology formations and the composition of soil. Besides, 89 per cent of the National Park was characterized as “Yosemite Wilderness”, which is a highly protected area. People have made huge effort to protect the “Yosemite wilderness”. For example, buses are created to be quiet and without pollution. (Wikipedia website) Yosemite is also famous for its spectacular landform.

  • MRP DEIS Volume 2
    Analysis Topics: Sociocultural Resources Wilderness Character Wilderness Character Affected Environment Regulatory Framework The Wilderness Act of 1964 The Wilderness Act of 1964 directed the Secretary of the Interior to study federal lands within the National Wildlife Refuge and National Park Systems, and recommend to the president those lands suitable for inclusion in a National Wilderness Preservation System. The Secretary of Agriculture was similarly directed to study and recommend such lands within the National Forest System. The Wilderness Act, which grants Congress final decision-making authority regarding designations, defines wilderness as including the following characteristics: …wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is further defined to mean in this chapter an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which (1) generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man’s work substantially unnoticeable; (2) has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation… The Wilderness Act prohibits certain uses in designated wilderness including motor vehicles, motorized equipment, landing of aircraft, other forms of mechanized transport, and structures or installations except as necessary to meet the minimum requirements for the administration of the area for the purpose of the Act.

  • Team in Training- Yosemite Hikes Hike Descriptions 2017
    TEAM IN TRAINING- YOSEMITE HIKES HIKE DESCRIPTIONS 2017 *There is a possibility that some of the day hikes will be reconfigured that contain sections still buried with snow or roads closed that won't allow us to get to the start. If we have to make changes we will provide an alternate hike that is of a similar length and character as the one you indicated as your first or second choices (see alternate destinations below). PANORAMA TRAIL* The Panorama Trail above Yosemite Valley is a true classic! The 8.5-mile trail offers stunning views of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls, beginning on the southeastern rim and ending in Yosemite Valley 3,000 feet below. Trail description: A moderate, though fairly long at 8.7 miles, the Panorama Trail: is 1,420’ up, and 4,600’ down. Starting at Glacier Point the trail begins a 2-mile downhill section, with wonderful views, to a bridge crossing at Illilouette Creek. After a short stop along the stream we climb a moderate 1.5 miles to the top of Panorama Wall, a huge cliff above the Merced River Canyon as it leads from Yosemite Valley to Little Yosemite Valley. From here the trail is mostly downhill all the way to Yosemite Valley. From the high point we continue downhill approximately another mile to a junction with a trail leading to the lake basins and wilderness of the southern end of Yosemite National Park. Another mile leads to the junction with the John Muir Trail about 1/2 mile west of the top of Nevada Fall.
