Great history of Yosemite National Park. Early pioneers which shaped the area. I was able to speak with a couple who gave me all the great details of the people buried here. It is located across the street and just west of the Yosemite Museum. Buried here include Native Americans, casual park visitors, and people who played important roles in the development of what is now Yosemite National Park. Please consider liking my review /pictures and follow along on all my adventures. Jeff Mullins Photography. It's All About the Adventures!

Historically white settlers brought to the valley the usual development that they used in the encroachment of the west - farming, ranching, commercial development, in addition to tourism. Today only tourism and rock climbing survives but the deceased from the 'settlement' era are interred in the Yosemite Cemetery. Most of the graves are modest and quite a few are unnamed. Local guides know the stories of many of the interred such as Crippen (see photos) who bled to death from a cut foot. The cemetery It is an interesting artifact of a bygone era.

The Yosemite village cemetery is hidden on the outskirts of the village area. There are old markers and it's a neat historical point of interest. IG:SACRAMENTOHONEY

They really missed an opportunity to call this the "Yosemetary".

A temetőben olyan emberek nyugszanak, akik részt vettek a park fejlesztésében, valamint őslakosok is. Mivel nem jutottunk el a mamutfenyőkhöz, ezt a helyet ajánlották, mert itt is vannak mamutfenyők, igaz jóval kisebb méretekben. Így összekötöttük a kellemest a hasznossal, és kis séta keretében megnéztük a temetőt és az itt lévő kisebb méretű fákat is.

Modificado. Visitamos este Parque Nacional aprovechando una estancia en San Francisco, Recorriendo esta zona de Yosemite después de aparcar el coche y ver otros puntos de interés, paseando en lo que podemos considerar pueblo, a las afueras del mismo encontramos el cementerio. Luego recabamos información de las personas enterradas en ese lugar. Entre ellos los nativos de la zona o personas que con su empeño ayudaron en el desarrollo de lo que es hoy el Parque Nacional Yosemite
