In case you missed it last month, we're celebrating the reopening of the Mariposa Grove. The three-year closure allowed for the biggest ecological restoration project in the park's history, improving conditions for the giant sequoias and making the grove a more pleasant place to visit. Thanks to Yosemite Conservancy donors for their generous support; this project would not have been possible without them.
