The results are in! Two weeks ago, we asked for your favorite trail and here is the top ten list accompanied by the number of responses. 18% of people who commented on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter said that the Mist Trail was their favorite hike! This beautiful trail is steep and demanding but the reward is stunning waterfall views. Make sure to bring plenty of water and know your limits. Currently, due to public health and safety concerns, descending the Mist Trail steps from the top of Vernal Fall is prohibited from 9 am to 4 pm. To return to the trailhead, continue hiking uphill to Clark Point (500 feet additional elevation gain), then down the John Muir Trail.
Remember to always research the hikes you see on social media. Photos and captions don’t often show the planning and challenges it took to make the trek or even just to get to the trailhead. Check out these and other Yosemite hikes at https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/hiking.htm.
This photo of the Mist Trail was taken in early June this year.

"This astounding variety, along with the fact that the oaks in this region account for more forest tree biomass than any other woody plant genus in North America and Mexico, makes them the single most important group of trees in the continent's forests."

Eastern screech-owls can be either mostly grey or mostly reddish-brown. Either way, their colours provide them with some of the best camouflage in the animal kingdom.

Redwood is fire resistant. We build with ecologically harvested Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Redwood and create long lasting, elegant decks and fences. Redwood lumber is naturally strong, durable, shrinks and swells less than other woods and is less likely to warp or split. Let us share our skills and knowledge base with you.

Cable railings for decks and stairs, such as this rigid stainless steel railing, allow for an open view as this one has, and reduced maintenance. The deck imparts a feeling of being part of the woody landscape the house is surrounded by. As a Certified Green Business, we only use premium materials, ie sustainably harvested wood as much as possible. When using composite materials, we choose those made from wood polymers, PVC plastics and recycled plastics. www.cloughconstruction.com
This charming StoneDeck patio is strong, safe, and durable. We only work with materials which are long lasting, environmentally responsible, and of course, beautiful. Call us at 415-444-5554 or visit our website at www.cloughconstruction.com and let us create the patio of your dreams.

This aspen tree tells a story! Black bears are expert climbers, seeking safety and food resources high in the treetops. In spring, adults emerging from hibernation and young cubs often scramble up aspens to gobble down nutritious catkins (spikes of wind-pollinated flowers).
A word to the wise: Just because bears do it doesn't make it cool. Carving initials into trees in the park is tacky, disrespectful, and a federal crime. Why not try picking up litter for your special someone? That's a lot less trashy 😇

One technique—which involves repeatedly harvesting smaller trees every 30 or so years but leaving an upper story of larger trees for longer periods (60, 90, or 120 years)—ensures a steady supply of both firewood and construction timber.
