Yosemite National Park is a United States National Park spanning eastern portions of Tuolumne, Mariposa and Madera counties in the central eastern portion of the U.S. state of California. The park, which is managed by the National Park Service, covers an area of 747,956 acres (3,026.87 km2) and reaches across the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain chain. Over 3.7 million people visit Yosemite each year: most spend their time in the seven square miles (18 km2) of Yosemite Valley.
Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is internationally recognized for its spectacular granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves, and biological diversity. Almost 95% of the park is designated wilderness.
Yosemite is one of the largest and least fragmented habitat blocks in the Sierra Nevada, and the park supports a diversity of plants and animals. The park has an elevation range from 2,127 to 13,114 feet (648 to 3,997 m) and contains five major vegetation zones: chaparral/oak woodland, lower montane forest, upper montane forest, subalpine zone, and alpine. Of California's 7,000 plant species, about 50% occur in the Sierra Nevada and more than 20% within Yosemite. There is suitable habitat or documentation for more than 160 rare plants in the park, with rare local geologic formations and unique soils characterizing the restricted ranges many of these plants occupy.

Yosemite National Park's innovates and educational black bear program KeepBearsWild.org
Yosemite National Park is working to keep its black bears and visitors safe. Historically, the park's bear population was used as a tourist attraction with garbage filled feeding pits where visitors could get an up close view of a real live bear. It was very popular, but when the pits were closed, the bears learned they could find the human food in cars and campsites. This caused serious human-wildlife conflicts in the park. Today the effects still linger, but a new program: KeepBearsWild.org has been developed to help humans and bears avoid any conflicts. It's a new website, hoping to reach a younger generation, that allows park visitors to better understand how to be safe around bears and gain a greater understanding of Yosemite's bear population. Sonia Aronson and her colleagues at the Media Enterprise Alliance School report on the successes and impact of the park's new Keep Bears Wild program.
Munginella (5.6) - Climbing in Yosemite National Park (Pitches 1-3)
My first attempt at climbing granite in the Yosemite Valley, following a climbing guide from the mountaineering school. Nearly couldn't retrieve a cam on Pitch 2!
Very fun route with a walk off finish back to the start. Highly recommended as the first climb for those who are new to the valley.

El Capitan via Yosemite Falls Trail
16 miles RT
3,600 Elevation Gain
Hiking to the top of El Capitan was my bucket list for a long time ever since I saw El Cap when I visited Yosemite for the first time back in my college days. I still remember vividly the awestruck sensation I felt when I saw the looming monolith in the Yosemite valley. Along with Half Dome, El Cap is a famed icon for many rock climbers just like Mt. Everest for mountaineers.
The hardest part of El Cap hike via Yosemite Falls Trail takes place for the first 3.2 miles of Yosemite Falls trail trekking up and up the rocky and slippery granite trail gaining 2,700 feet elevation. However, no pain, no gain. The reward at the top of El Cap is unforgettable....breathtaking panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and High Sierras. It's a must do hike if you want to stand on the top of El Cap unless you are a hardcore rock climber to be able to scale the vertical face of the iconic monolith of Yosemite!

Yosemite Falls Trail - the SCARY part (2015)
Enjoy uncut GoPro Head Strap footage of the SCARY part of Yosemite Falls Trail, the six-minute descent to the Upper Fall Overlook (starts at 02:00). If you have acrophobia, this trail might not be for you. I overcame my fears four times now, I think that's enough. While there wasn't much water falling during another California drought, the grueling 2700' climb and descent was still every bit as spectacular. Along on this hike for the first time were my Danish cousins Mads and Tine, and Mads's daughter Anna. Wife Carol is the gal I'm following down to the overlook. If you like this video, feel free to click on my name above to visit my channel to browse the many other videos there. I have a wide variety of topics, something else might interest you, perhaps Half Dome? Subscribers welcome. Thanks kindly. Our half dome hike is an interesting view as well at

When This Missing Hiker Was Found 7 Days Later, She Revealed The Terrifying Ordeal She’d Endured
Please do not forget to visit the site

**************************************************************
Dangling high above the treeline of the Great Bear Wilderness, Madeline Connelly shook with exhaustion and relief as she was winched into the waiting helicopter. Almost 300,000 acres of mountainous forest stretched out below her. Somehow, with no food or water or phone, alone except for her Jack Russell terrier, she’d survived.
Just one week earlier, the 23-year-old had been blissfully unaware of the ordeal awaiting her. Born and raised with three sisters just outside Chicago in the village of River Forest, Illinois, Madeline is a lover of the outdoors.
In fact, when the proposed North Dakota Access Pipeline threatened the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in 2016, Madeline braved freezing temperatures to join the protest. At college in Arizona, meanwhile, she’d thrown herself into a three-week backpacking challenge, even exploring solo. Also no stranger to the state parks of Illinois, she’d happily camp out for days at a time.
Now, she was off to a new life working at a bakery in Alaska. On her way, though, she made a quick detour to go and see her uncle Marty in Montana. One sunny Thursday afternoon, then, she popped out to walk her dog Mogi along one of the local mountainous trails. However, she didn’t return, and when Marty and his friends found her Subaru Outback, it was empty.
One phone call and two plane flights later, then, and Madeline’s parents were in Montana, joining a search effort that would only grow in scope as the hunt for their daughter continued. “My gut feeling was that something’s not right,” her father John told the press. “It was just brutal because we knew she was out there in the wilderness.”
Other friends and family members also soon flocked to Montana, all faced with the task of combing more than 300 miles of winding trails in the Great Bear Wilderness. By the Saturday, in fact, 40 to 50 walkers and multiple helicopters were engaged in a full-scale search. What’s more, by the Monday the missing girl was national news.
However, the truth was that it didn’t look good for Madeline. Ranger Rob Davies, who co-ordinated the Forest Service’s efforts, admitted that “after six or seven days… knowing she didn’t have food or shelter in 32 °F temperatures, and some snow where she was, made survival very unlikely.”
Moreover, it wasn’t just the weather and the unfamiliar terrain that posed a threat to the missing girl’s survival. Indeed, the aptly named Great Bear Wilderness has one of the densest grizzly bear populations in the U.S. So, when search parties found bear tracks jumbled up with human boot prints, they feared the worst.
Nonetheless, Madeline’s family remained hopeful throughout the ordeal, holding vigils at the local St. Luke Catholic Church. They also reminded one another of Madeline’s survival skills, sang her childhood songs and remembered her smile, her thoughtfulness, her easy laughter.
Six days after Madeline had gone missing, however, hope was beginning to run low. Then the incredible happened. A search team exploring the steep, rugged terrain looked up to see a woman staring down at them from a rocky overcrop. “Are you looking for me?” she asked, breathless and with a woolly hat perched on her head. “The whole world’s looking for you!” they cried.
