    Yosemite Peregrine Lodge Encouraging Adventure And Defining Relaxation. Things to do and see in Yosemite SUGGESTIONS ACCORDING TO THE TIME YOU HAVE A man reportedly visited the park and approached John Muir to inquire what he should see as he only had one day to visit the park. John replied, “Sit down and cry lad”. I don’t know what the man ended up seeing or doing, but one thing is for sure no matter how long you have in the park you will be able to see a little bit of one of the most amazing places on earth. And that is worth any time you will spend here. The following are some suggestions on what to see and do given a certain amount of time. ONE HOUR Location: Yosemite Valley 1. Explore the Visitor center exhibits. Learn about Yosemite’s geology, history, and resources 2. Tour the reconstructed Native American Village behind the visitor center. Experience Ahwahnechee life. 3. Walk along the self guided changing Yosemite nature trail. Begin trail outside visitor center. 4. Visit the fascinating Native American cultural museum.

Relying on existing data for 373 archaeological sites and minimal surface materials collected for this project, examination of site constituents and their presumed functions in light of geography and chronology indicated two distinctive archaeological patterns. First, limited-use sites—lithic scatters thought to represent hunting, travel, or obsidian procurement activities—were most prevalent in pre- 1500 B.P. contexts. Second, intensive-use sites, containing features and artifacts believed to represent a broader range of activities, were most prevalent in post-1500 B.P.
