National Parks Week
The famous tunnel view from Yosemite.
On this day of National Parks Week, we learn about the innovative projects happening in the parks.
When we visited in 2015, they were restoring the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. This year they are working on traffic flow and shuttle stops as well as campground rehabilitation.
Conservancy will be done surrounding Bridalveil Falls, to reduce crowding and protect natural resources. (It wasn't flowing on our trip).
The park is also establishing a new welcome center, but here is their first.
Built by the Sierra Club in 1903-04 to honor charter member, Joseph LeConte, the memorial served as an information center at the northern terminus of the John Muir Trail.
"It demands of those seeing it for that first time that they reorganize their sense of proportion about the real world."
