George Monroe was one of Yosemite's most renowned stage drivers. From 1866-86, he drove tourists, artists, & US presidents over treacherous roads to the Valley, allowing for public awareness that helped Yosemite become the 3rd #NationalPark. #UntoldStories

Climbing has come a long way since the first ascent of El Capitan. Before Free Solo and the Dawn Wall, someone had to have the vision to believe it could be climbed at all. Check out the history... https://t.co/5CyLcsg261

On Oct. 1, 1890, #Yosemite became the third U.S. national park (after Sequoia, 1890, & Yellowstone, 1872). At the time, Yosemite Valley & Mariposa Grove were managed by California; both were added to the park in 1906. What has this special place given you?
