Nic Fiore Memorial Project

Upper Cathedral Meadow is often wet and is bisected by the very popular John Muir/High Sierra Camp Loop Trail.

Hikers avoid walking in water by stepping alongside the muddy trail, creating a parallel trail.

Animal stock regularly travels this trail, further contributing to trail ruts. In 2009, trail work began to re-route the trail to the forest and out of the meadow.

In 2010, this ecological restoration project will remove the meadow trail and adjacent ruts and restore the topography, natural conditions and wilderness character to Upper Cathedral Meadow.

At the family’s request, gifts in memory of famed Yosemite ski instructor and High Sierra Camps Director Nic Fiore are being applied to this project.
