The Geographical Sectors of Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park lies in the heart of California’s Central Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The park is famed for its giant sequoia trees, massive waterfalls, and towering granitic cliffs and monoliths.
There are four main geographic areas of Yosemite National Park— The High Sierra, Granite Cliffs, Sequoia Groves, and Valley Floor. These unique areas allow for a major diversity in ecology, climate, and overall conditions.
The Indigenous Witnesses of Mount Mazama's Eruption and Creation of Crater Lake
Local tribes, including the Klamath First Nation, have passed down oral traditions and stories that detail the eruption Mount Mazama in Oregon.
These stories closely parallel what is geologically known to be true about this eruption and the subsequent formation of the lake that formed within the crater of a collapsed Mount Mazama, known as Crater Lake.
This, along with archeological anthropogenic evidence, lets us know that First Peoples had witnessed the event that formed Crater Lake.
