- About the map – Tau Rho Alpha (for real, his daughter’s named Theta) illustrated beautiful physiographic maps for the U.S. Geological Survey until 2000, when they asked him to use a computer, and he retired. This east-facing view, drawn in the 1980s, shows Route 120 winding up to Tenaya Lake, running parallel to Yosemite Valley. The Merced River carved the Valley out of a whole lot of granite, leaving free-climber magnet El Capitan and the iconic Half Dome. Take a drive in the off-season if you’re into redwoods, waterfalls and alpine lakes.
- Thank Abraham Lincoln: he signed the Yosemite Grant in 1864, creating the federally-protected parkland that became Yosemite National Park in 1916.
