YOSEMITE RANGER
GIVES ADVICE ON
NATIONAL PARK
By United Press Leased Wire

YOSEMITE, Aug. 14.-Thcrc is n
right way to see Yosemite national
park from an automobile. Here is
the advice Of Ranger Bert Sault
who answers thousands Of questions
each year on how and what to see
in California : wonderland. He
says:
In one way and out the other.
folks, means every motorist shoull
endeaVor TO enter Yosemite Wiley
by one route and leave by another
to. enjoy the maximum amount Of
different scenery during the t,ip.
Since the opening Of the new IoSe-
al year road on July 81. there are
now three direct routes into the
valley. The Mawona road leaves
the San joaquin Valley from Fresno.
MADEIRA and Merced. The new
Yosemite al year highway also
branches out from Merced. while
the Big Oak Flat road. entering
Yosemite from the north starts at
Sahda, Manteca and Stockton.
Each road described bv Ranger
Sault has certain distinctive attrac-
tions which the Yosemite motorist
can hardly afford TO miss.
The Wawona road leads 10 Glacier
Point, where the Sterras unfold ia
a 10 mile panorama and Yosemite
valley hes at the visitor 5 feet. two
Thirds Of mile directly below. II
is from Glacier Point that the fam
ons firefall is pushed over the cliff
each evening, To drop as a glowing
column OF red embers into the quiet
valley.
Giant Sequoia Tree
The Mariposa Grove is only
short side trip from the Wawona
road. Here is located the Grizzly
giant sequoia tree, said to be the
world 5 Oldest living thing. There
are approximately GOO seqHoia trees
in the Mariposa Grove.
The new Yosemite all year high
way up the scenic MERGED river can
yon trayerseS Il country rich III his
torical interest. II has the addi
tional attraction Of having the least
grade Of any route leading into
Yosemite Valley.
A gradual ascent past the tower
ing FL Captain that guards the west
ern end OF Yosemite Valley IS the I
thrill enioyed by the motorists that
leave Yosemite over the Big Oak /
Flat road. The incoming visitor
likewise enjoys the descent as the .
mammoth mountain Ell Captain t
gradually grows larger as his ap- i
proach draws closer. Pie Tuommne !,
Grove Of big trees and Il connection |
with the Tioga roadEt Carl Inn, are .
some Of the other attractions of the !
Big Oak Flat road.

Seventy three wears ago this

pressed closer to inspect more care
fully the vehicle which had stood

Of such a trip in such a short time.
