replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A3) I would say Muir but honestly the racism in his writing turns me off. His words about nature were inspiring but his words about people of color abhorrent. #Parkchat

RT @YoseConservancy: Q4. Most of #Yosemite (nearly 95%) is designated wilderness. What does "wilderness" mean to you? #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) To me personally, wilderness means an area where nature can be itself with as little human interactions as possible. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy I think wilderness is about enhanced protections of the land. The concept of “make no trails” comes to mind. #ParkChat

replying to @fullvanfun @fullvanfun @YoseConservancy Yes, we were able to get off the beaten path along the Tioga Pass Road. Compared to the valley and some of the overlooks, it almost felt like we had the park to ourselves! #ParkChat

A4. Land protected both for its intrinsic value AND the social benefits it provides for people. No motorized anything, ever. 240 characters aren't really enough for this question. #ParkChat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4) A non-harassed, wild area of land that is left to itself to be enjoyed by all creatures (including humans). I'll admit "wilderness" for me means endless trees. #ParkChat

You guys: please go do all your gift shopping at the 501c3 store associated with your local #publiclands! For me it's @wnpa1938 and there is one near wherever you are. Buy a @Wild_Tribute tee, sticker, magnet etc and you do double good! #ParkChat https://t.co/1JxK30QP7V

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4. Aside from the legal definition used in the designation, my idea of wilderness is an area where I can get a sense of what existed before European settlement. #parkchat

replying to @YoseConservancy @YoseConservancy A4. I'm often surprised that wilderness can be designated within just a few dozen feet of a paved road. To me, true wilderness is a place where you hear the sounds of nature - and no longer hear internal combustion engines. (Yosemite has lots of those places!) #ParkChat

A5: The main valley but find a spot at least a little ways off from a crowd to get to marvel at the beauty in peace

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @59NationalParks @YosemiteNPS Gosh, I'd love to find that. I should have added "Gloryland," by Shelton Johnson to my list. #ParkChat

A5: If you're in the Valley for an evening, catch a 90-minute show at the #Yosemite Theater. The spring season includes @JohnMuirLive, Search and Rescue rangers, a new show set in the 1880s & more >> https://t.co/UGNOc0U7S2 #ParkChat
