Muir once said, “The mountains are calling and I must go.”
If you too hear that beckoning sound, then sign up today for a chance to be
part of a camping, climbing, and stewardship event in Yosemite’s High Country
of Tuolumne Meadows between August 30 to September 7, 2014.
The Mazamas have partnered with the Yosemite Climber
Steward program this year to offer our members a chance to give back to
wilderness and have some fun in greatest national park on Earth! We have 15 camping spots available for
volunteers between August 30 and September 7 (8 days)
in exchange for four days of trail maintenance or related work projects.
Camping will be in the Tuolumne Meadows Campground (click here for more camping info) and trail work
will be directed by the Yosemite Climber Steward Leaders. Volunteers must be physically fit and able to
work for 4 days at an elevation of 8,000 feet.
More
info about the Yosemite Climber Program: a grant-funded, volunteer-fueled,
climbing-based conservation group in Yosemite National Park. The Program performs a variety of duties,
ranging from trail work to climbing patrols on Grade V, El Cap routes. With your help, the Stewards can get a lot of
work done and during down time you can jam, stem, and smear your way up some of
the world's classic alpine rock climbs!
Sign up today! (This opportunity for Mazama members only. Interested in joining? Learn more here.)
These are the beautiful images of Yosemite National Park. We went there to visit Yosemite Valley before boston to Philadelphia tour. We were a little apprehensive before arriving at Yosemite after hearing some horror stories about the relentless crowds in the valley. It's partially true. The valley is chock full of people but for a reason, because the views are amazing.
