Yosemite's 800 miles of trails protect habitat and provide exceptional access to the most awe inspiring scenery in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Now more than ever, the trails need our help. A concerted effort is needed to reverse the effects of heavy use on vital trails.
Contributing to The Campaign for Yosemite Trails means protecting and restoring Yosemite's most critically compromised, heavily trafficked and high profile trails for future generations. The Campaign will also restore adjacent habitats, create greater education opportunities for visitors and promote the appropriate use of Yosemite trails. These trails need your help today!
The Campaign will...
Provide visitors with:
- Increased user friendly trails in two of Yosemite's most popular destinations—the West Valley and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.
- An improved experience at Happy Isles and the John Muir Trailhead through the installation of educational exhibits, habitat restoration, and reconstruction of the Happy Isles footbridge to create a proper gateway to wilderness.
- Design plans for key trailheads along the Tioga Road to include habitat-friendly, safe parking, food storage lockers, and wilderness education exhibits.
Provide hikers and backpackers with:
- A safer journey on the John Muir Trail by repairing and reconstructing heavily eroded portions of the trail.
- An extraordinary loop route in Yosemite's backcountry by reconstructing the spectacular Red Peak Pass Trail over the Clark Range that connects two vital north-south trails.
- A proper, informal route to Mount Hoffmann's summit which will include habitat restoration and act as a cost effective model for converting use trails.
Yes! I support Yosemite's trails.
