  • Sketch of Yosemite National Park and an Account of the Origin of the Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy Valleys
    SKETCH OF YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK AND AN ACCOUNT OF THE ORIGIN OF THE YOSEMITE AND HETCH HETCHY VALLEYS DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 1912 This publication may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington. I). C, for LO cents. 2 SKETCH OP YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK AND ACCOUNT OF THE ORIGIN OF THE YOSEMITE AND HETCH HETCHY VALLEYS. By F. E. MATTHES, U. S. Geological Surrey. INTRODUCTION. Many people believe that the Yosemite National Park consists principally of the Yosemite Valley and its bordering heights. The name of the park, indeed, would seem to justify that belief, yet noth­ ing could be further from the truth. The Yosemite Valley, though by far the grandest feature of the region, occupies only a small part of the tract. The famous valley measures but a scant 7 miles in length; the park, on the other hand, comprises no less than 1,124 square miles, an area slightly larger than the State of Rhode Island, or about one-fourth as large as Connecticut. Within this area lie scores of lofty peaks and noble mountains, as well as many beautiful valleys and profound canyons; among others, the Iletch Hetchy Valley and the Tuolumne Canyon, each scarcely less wonderful than the Yosemite Valley itself. Here also are foaming rivers and cool, swift trout brooks; countless emerald lakes that reflect the granite peaks about them; and vast stretches of stately forest, in which many of the famous giant trees of California still survive. The Yosemite National Park lies near the crest of the great alpine range of California, the Sierra Nevada.

  • Red Peak Pass Red Peak Pass
    Tentative Itinerary – Red Peak Pass On your trip to Yosemite, our goal would be to give you an adventure that you will remember forever while also pointing out (and getting you up and behind) some of the major points in the park that most tourists want to see. Many people come for their first trip and just drive into Yosemite Valley and look up in awe. They then make plans to come back and see and do more in the future. By contacting us, we can design an outing where you can see the valley and also complete a backcountry trip that enables you to get away from the crowds and on top of some of the more famous peaks and beside some amazing waterfalls! You will finish this adventure feeling “success” and “accomplishment” and with a greater view and experience of Yosemite then most people ever receive! Red Peak Pass Trip Length: 7 Days/6 Nights Trip Highlights: Glacier Point, Illilouette Creek, unlimited high alpine lakes, rivers, Red Peak Pass, Merced Peak, Washburn Lake, Merced Lake, the Lost Valley, Little Yosemite Valley, and the Mist Trail. Total Milage: 50 miles Rating: Moderate to Strenuous. Day 1 : Meet your guide in the afternoon. Get acquainted with the group and with gear. Valley highlights (food in the front-country not included.) Camp in Yosemite Valley Backpackers camp. Day 2: After taking the 8am morning shuttle (approx. 1.5 hours) to Glacier Point where we will take in the views before heading downhill into the Illilouette Creek Valley. We will cross the creek and continue on a gradual uphill climb before picking a creek side location to camp at.
