Welcome back to part three of our four-part series on the early trails and settlement of the Yosemite area.

This episode continues our journey through time from the establishment of the very first trails by wild game, and then Indians, to our current roads and highways built with the money and vision of early entrepreneurs and the creation and impact of the National Park Service in 1916.

This episode of Little Yo Pod continues the story of the development of the early trails in and around Yosemite by the Ahwahneechee and other tribes and groups of the area, and how everything changed with western settlement.

This is part two of four in this series and is narrated by Yosemite storyteller and fellow Naturalist Guide, Brian Shoor. I recorded this talk on a Conservancy led backpacking trip earlier this summer.
