Cook’s Meadow November 2014 Ahwahnee Meadow December 2015 Ongoing restoration projects are ubiquitous in Yosemite, and meadow protections are particularly visible in the Valley. Park management must constantly balance its stated mission to let natural processes prevail with the demands of visitor access and enjoyment. Though walking off trail in Yosemite’s meadows is almost universally banned, it is common to see people doing just that.
