		had not hiked down into the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne before but was anxious to explore the area and photograph the powerful cataracts of the Tuolumne River during the high water of spring runoff.
		As I walked through Tuolumne Meadows, the largest alpine meadow in the Sierra Nevada, and over the bridge that spans the river, I passed Lambert Dome and several bucks and does browsing in the expansive meadow.
		This had to hold me for the 3-mile hike into the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne to photograph the magnificent waterfalls in the morning and the 9-10 mile return hike back to the car that afternoon.

	My limbs seem held down by weights
		The Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne is deeper, narrower, and more rugged than its famous sister a few miles to the south.
		Unlike the Grand Canyon of the Colorado -- which is approached crosswise, from its north or south rim -- the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne can be seen only from a trail that has been cut, hacked, and blasted down its length.
		Journeying down canyon, following the plunge of the river, one feels absorbed into this remote defile, which can only be exited at a few points where side canyons enter from the north.

	Yosemite National Park
		Below is a picture of Tuolumne Meadows, and the Tuolumne River with the mountains surrounding the meadow.
		One feature which can be observed in Tuolumne Meadows and elsewhere in the park is the existence of "glacial erratics." These are stones and rocks which were carried to and left in locations on the ground by the movement and eventual recession of the mighty glaciers which scoured much of the park.
		Although John Muir was originally hired to bring a flock of sheep from the valley into the high country, in 1869, he soon came to understand the devastating effects of their grazing, referring to them as "hooved locusts." The overgrazing of the sheep indeed caused tremendous damage until the 1890's when they were eliminated.

	EPA: Federal Register: Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Comprehensive Management Plan and Tuolumne Meadows Concept Plan, ...
		Background In 1979, a Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Study and Environmental Impact Statement was prepared which recommended designation of the river and specified ``wild'' and ``scenic'' classifications.
		In 1984, 83 miles of the Tuolumne River were designated Wild and Scenic under Public Law 94-425; a total of 54 miles of the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River are under NPS jurisdiction in Yosemite National Park.
		The scope of issues identified thus far to address in the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River Comprehensive Management Plan include the identification of ORVs, determination of desired conditions and management prescriptions within the river corridor, establishment of detailed boundaries, development of a user capacity management program, and deciding upon a Section 7 determination process.

		By about lunch time, we'd reached the Tuolumne Camp store, where we drank excessively sweet beverages that made me queasy and were appalled to hear inane and petty conversations after a workweek of birdsong and waterfalls.
		The main Tuolumne campgrounds are filled with vehicles and noisy people, but there's a general store if you forgot anything, a snack stand, and a mailbox.

	Sierra Club Policy - Hetch Hetchy - Sierra Club
		Of the then-threat of the damming of the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, the Directors said "no greater damage could be done to the great National Park, excepting the damming of Yosemite [Valley] itself..." The committee put the Sierra Club on record as "opposed to the use of Hetch Hereby Valley as a reservoir site..."
		That Hetch Hetchy was dammed, after passage of the Raker Act in 1913, was an event of profound impact on the Sierra Club and the nation's then - young conservation movement.
		The Sierra Club reaffirms its policy adopted in 1907 and 1910, and continues its historic and fundamental opposition to the damming of the Tuloumne River in Yosemite National Park, We welcome initiatives toward the restoration of the free-flowing Tuolumne River and Hetch Hetchy Valley.
