		The valley was held to be accursed, and the feeble remnant of its inhabitants fled to their neighbors or to the wild tribes across the mountains.
		In the manner which has been described, the Yosemite Valley was discovered; but the Californians of that early day, and particularly those in the mining region, had very little interest in scenery.
		Hutchings was at the moment laying plans for the publication of his California Magazine, and for that reason the mention of a waterfall a thousand feet high arrested his attention, and he resolved to investigate the matter.

	Rock-fall Hazards in the Yosemite Valley
		For land-use planning in Yosemite Valley, the National Park Service (NPS) requested the U.S. Geological Survey to assess the available information and to evaluate potential rock-fall hazard in four specific parts of the Yosemite Valley identified by NPS as: Yosemite Lodge, Campgrounds, Taft Toe, and Housekeeping Camp identified on Plate 1.
		Each of the four study areas in Yosemite Valley is large enough to be subject to potential rock falls from several sources, so the return period for a similar site within the shadow is probably less than 1000 years.
		With a very small number of large rock avalanche deposits (5) which occurred within Yosemite Valley in the last 15,000 years, an average return period cannot be reliably determined, but is probably longer than that for boulders to reach and stop within the rock-fall shadow.

		The most recent tribe was the Miwok who called Yosemite Valley Ahwahnee or "place of the gaping mouth," and called themselves Ahwahneechee. These American Indians had a rich culture and were frequent traders with tribes from the eastern side of the Sierras.
		Unfortunately, conflict developed with the newcomers as the native peoples fought to protect their homes. In 1851, a battalion of troops entered Yosemite during a mission to search for Indians and end the hostility. These troops returned with stories of Yosemite Valley's beauty and grandeur and soon word spread of this special place.
		In 1864, during the heat of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant that set aside Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias as the first territory ever set aside by Congress for public use and preservation.

	David Brower on the Yosemite Valley Plan
		The emphasis on diesel buses in the draft Yosemite Valley plan force me to infer that he was telling the truth the first time.
		With both the Environmental Protection Agency in California and Washington, D.C., currently cracking down on diesel as a carcinogen and a massive air pollution problem, it is unconscionable for the National Park Service to advocate a dramatic increase in diesel traffic in Yosemite Valley.
		The Central Valley is beginning to look to rail as a solution to its air problems, and I strongly encourage the National Park Service to climb aboard this statewide effort, which can be part of the solution for Yosemite as well.

	Push to drain Yosemite valley renewed - Boston.com
		YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. --After the great 1906 earthquake, searching for reliable power and drinking water, San Francisco looked at the soaring granite of Yosemite's Hetch Hetchy Valley and saw walls for a reservoir.
		Studies by the University of California at Davis and Environmental Defense each argued that it was possible to drain the reservoir and replace most of the water storage capacity with expanded reservoirs downstream.
		Today, Hetch Hetchy Valley attracts more than 50,000 visitors a year who can walk across the O'Shaughnessy Dam, hike around the reservoir and get away from the 3 million visitors who clog neighboring Yosemite Valley's roads and campgrounds each year.
