Yosemite Visitors Center Opens After $1.3million Makeover

MyMotherLode.coms: “The exhibit hall at Yosemite National Park’s Visitor Center opened Friday for the first time since its $1.3 million makeover.

The update replaces 40-year-old exhibits on nature and culture in the Yosemite Valley.

Included is a replica of the base of a giant sequoia, a bear cave, a replica glacier, pullout panels, and animation. There is also a life size statue of John Muir, who is considered by many experts to be the father of the modern conservation effort.
