A Different View
of Yosemite National Park. Local resident David Harden
will present a different view of Yosemite National Park in a
presentation at the March 14 meeting of the Tuolumne County
Historical Society.
The meeting is set for 7pm in the Community Room at the Tuolumne
County Library. Any interested members of the community
are invited to attend.
Harden will share photos and stories chronicling more than 40
years of wandering and climbing in the park. His views
include many of seldom-seen areas outside the world-renowned
Yosemite Valley. These are not the usual views experienced
by most traveling the roadways in the park.
"Living in Tuolumne County, we are incredibly fortunate to have
in our own backyard the world wonders of Yosemite," Harden said.
In his talk Harden will discuss the history of climbing
exploration from John Muir's ascent of Cathedral Peak to the
amazing feats of today's young athletes on the vertical walls. |
