About this episode

This episode explores the history and significance of Yosemite National Park.

In the heart of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains lies a landscape of towering granite cliffs, ancient sequoias, cascading waterfalls, and deep valleys carved by ice.  It has inspired Indigenous peoples, explorers, artists, conservationists, and millions of visitors.  Its story also helped create the modern idea of protecting wild places for everyone.
