It has been 20 years since the General Management Plan was completed. Why isn’t the park revising/revisiting it?
Although the General Management Plan (GMP) was written 20 years ago, the five goals of that plan are more relevant today than ever. When the GMP was written, visitation to Yosemite was around 2 million people. Today, that visitation figure has nearly doubled and efforts to pursue the goals of the GMP are even more focused. The Merced River Plan and the Yosemite Valley Plan will amend the GMP with specific actions in alternatives that attempt to present the literal implementation of the GMP.
