Yosemite’s granite cathedrals, roaring waterfalls and ancient sequoia groves inspired early conservationists to protect its wonders for all time. In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Land Grant, the first national act to conserve an American landscape for public enjoyment. In 1901, the Sierra Club’s first outing was a hike from Yosemite Valley to Tuolumne Meadows. The club was integral in lobbying for the protection of these grand landscapes in a national park. Experience Yosemite’s enduring marvels as we retrace that early journey and more, viewing the edifice of Half Dome and the 3,000-foot wall of El Capitan, flower-strewn alpine heights, and the silver ribbon of the Merced River, inspiring so many painters. In the Mariposa Grove, stand among the largest trees on Earth, and discover hidden spots most visitors miss.
