Which of the following influential advocates of wildlife preservation had this to say when pondering Yosemite?  https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/historyculture/muir.htm#:~:text=Muir%20has%20inspired%20us%20to,seems%20to%20glow%20with%20life.”  2. If you want to experience Yosemite in its rawest and purest form backpacking miles away from the nearest trailhead is your best bet. Which item is not required when backpacking in Yosemite National Park? https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wildpermits.htm#:~:text=A%20wilderness%20permit%20is%20required,lodging%20facilities%20and%20frontcountry%20campgrounds. 3. The valley is home to one of the tallest waterfalls in North America coming in at a whopping 2,425 ft of total drop. To put that in perspective, that's only a few hundred feet shorter than the tallest building in the world! Name this cascading waterfall. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/waterfalls.htm 4. Parts and pieces of Yosemite have made their way into countless newsprints, artwork, and tourist cameras. Many documentaries have been filmed within the valley in an attempt to portray its beauty and importance. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/most-dangerous-free-solo-climb-yosemite-national-park-el-capitan 5. What Yosemite reservoir provides water for over 2.4 million people in San Francisco, Santa Clara, Almeda, and San Mateo counties?  https://bawsca.org/water/supply/hetchhetchy#:~:text=Eighty%2Dfive%20percent%20of%20the,the%20San%20Francisco%20Bay%20Area. 6. True or False. You’re more likely to end up on the unfortunate end of an unsolved murder in Yosemite Valley than you are to be killed by a bear.  https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/yosemite-patricia-hicks-mystery-revelations-17568244.php 7. The winter of 2022-23 will go down in park history as one of the snowiest on record with snow as deep as 15 feet in some areas. While the snow melt can lead to dangerous flooding, it can also be quite beautiful and change landscapes in ways we haven’t seen. One such change is the rare existence of more than 10  waterfalls that typically don’t exist in the valley. What is the name for a temporary waterfall that only flows at certain times and usually not for long? https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/california-storms-create-yosemite-waterfalls-17716525.php 8. Backpacking, going off the grid, whatever you want to call it, it can be intimidating! Especially if you’re planning an adventure to a place you’ve never been. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wildregs.htm 9. Our somewhat riddle of the week? I come up in the summer and lay down in the winter. When I’m up, I help people achieve lofty goals, when I’m down only the most experienced dare visit me. What am I? https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/halfdome.htm Question 10. True of False. Yosemite was once home to a plethora of fish species before being wiped out upon human contact. https://www.nps.gov/yose/learn/nature/fish.htm The closest guess, whether that be higher or lower, is the winner. How many miles of trail are available to hike within the Yosemite Wilderness? https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/trails.htm#:~:text=The%20Yosemite%20Wilderness%20has%20over,%2C%20ecological%20zones%2C%20and%20solitude.
